Conglomerates are coarse grained clastic sedimentary rocks composed of a substantial proportion of rounded to well-rounded gravel clasts set in a matrix. They were laid down in a high energy environment, either fluvial, alluvial or shallow marine. The roundness of the clasts can be an indicator of the transport distance or the action of sustained erosion. This particular example is from the Cretaceous Faringdon Sponge Gravel Formation which would suggest it is shallow marine in origin. Specimens are supplied in labelled card trays.

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.
