This document defines conglomerate as a sedimentary rock composed of rounded rock fragments like pebbles, cobbles, and boulders within a finer-grained material. To be classified as a conglomerate, some of the rock pieces must be at least 2 mm in size. This specific conglomerate sample is from North Cascades National Park and contains cobble-sized fragments of granitic rock with white and black coloring.

of rounded rock fragments, such as pebbles, cobbles, and boulders, in a finer- grained matrix. To call the rock a conglomerate, some of the consituent pebbles must be at least 2 mm This conglomerate is from North Cascades National (about 1/13th of an inch) Park. The clasts (larger pieces of rock) are cobbles of across. granitic rocks (white with black speckles).
