Conglomerate

A sedimentary rock made


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).
