This Breccia is a consolidated scree deposit of Pleistocene age. Angular clasts are what differentiate breccia from conglomerate which has more rounded constituent fragments.The clasts in these specimens are cemented with calcrete
which is formed on calcareous materials as a result of climatic fluctuations in arid and semi arid regions. Calcite is dissolved in groundwater and, under drying conditions, is precipitated as the water evaporates at the surface. This particular example comes from the Manifold Valley in Staffordshire. Specimens are supplied in labelled card trays or by weight in 1kg. bags.

Puddingstone conglomerate is a rare sedimentary rock from Hertfordshire, UK which formed during the Paleocene to Eocene period. Composed of rounded flint clasts within a silica matrix, this rock is quite hard and breaks with conchoidal fractures. Formed through erosion of flint pebbles which were later cemented by sand and silica, it is an excellent representation of conglomerate, detailing rounded clasts within a matrix. The specimens are available in 4 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label.
