| 地質年代：冰河世紀化學組成, 鍵及結構 ：礦物顆粒 – 石英或長石。沉積，變質或火成岩碎片。
石英岩，砂岩，石灰岩，花崗岩，玄武岩和片麻岩的碎屑特別常見。 將大塊碎石結合在一起的基質可以是沙子，泥土和化學水泥的混合物。 |
Geological Age: Ice Age
Chemical composition, bonding and structure: Mineral particles – quartz or feldspar. Sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock fragments. Clasts of quartzite, sandstone, limestone, granite are especially common. The matrix that binds the large clasts together can be a mixture of sand, mud, and chemical cement. |
| 形成：聚集形式的圓形碎屑堆積沉積物。需要強大的波浪和分解。這些條件只能在極端潮流或波浪作用時才會遇到。然而，在這些時間裡，地球上的大部分沉積物都會被移動和沈積。原生物：砂岩 | Formation: Conglomerate forms where sediments accumulate. Strong winds and decomposition are needed. These conditions might only be met during times of extreme flow or wave action. However, it is during these times that much of the Earth’s sediments are moved and deposited.
Living Specimens: Sandstone |
| 特性：
· 粗粒 · 不均勻的 · 高度多孔 · 平淡 |
Properties:

| 應用：
礫岩可以被粉碎成細小的集料，可用於低性能材料適用的地方。 企業集團的分析有時可以用作探礦工具。例如，大多數鑽石礦床都存放在金伯利岩中。 |
Application:
Conglomerate can be crushed to make a fine aggregate that can be used where a low-performance material is suitable. Analysis of conglomerate can sometimes be used as a prospecting tool. For example, most diamond deposits are hosted in kimberlite. |
