Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock which originates from rounded gravel and clasts and usually the size of a boulder (around and over 2 mm in diameter) which are rounded. The space between them is cemented together in a matrix, with finer particles like calcite or quarzite.
Conglomerate formation occurs if comprising of pebbles mainly and cobble-size clasts over two millimetres in diameter start depositing ting and if such materials are buried and lithified, are transformed into a conglomerate. Presence of a source of...
