Conglomerate from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri, USA. (~7.1 centimeters across at its widest) Conglomerate is a poorly sorted, siliciclastic sedimentary rock. It has or includes rounded to subrounded large clasts, usually pebbles. Some clasts may be angular (as in this example). The dark-colored matrix is composed of small grains - usually sand or mud. In this case, the sand-dominated matrix is ferruginous (= rich in iron oxide). This rock is from the Graydon Conglomerate of Missouri. It is…

227 – Conglomerate (Sedimentary Rock), Texture: Clastic, Composition: Rock Fragments, Description: Large grains (e.g. pebbles) in a small-grained matrix, pebbles are rounded due to a high energy environment (which allowed the sharp edges of the pebbles to wear down over time), Cement/asphalt/concrete are man-made conglomerates, but are not considered to be rocks, This sample is a true conglomerate (possibly formed through river transportation or beneath a glacier) and was lithified (turned…

BRECCIA | The large, angular clasts in breccia make it possible to confidently ascertain the depositional history of the rock GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. This contrasts well with conglomerate, a very similar rock with clasts that have traveled a long ways from their provenance GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our…
