Conglomerate forms as a result of the consolidation of sediments which contain rounded pebbles, cobbles, or even boulders of rocks of various types. The rocks that make up the conglomerate are compacted and are cemented together by silica, clay, iron, or calcitic mineral cements which bind all of the clasts together.
