A sedimentary rock called "breccia". The sharp angular pebbles making up the breccia could be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Breccias generally form close to the point of origin of the clast rock, having less time to round those sharp angular edges.
No, conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock made up of rounded gravel-sized particles. The particles in conglomerate are typically larger than sand grains and are often well-rounded due to the transportation and deposition processes that occur before the rock forms.
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock composed of various sized visible pieces of other rock, cemented together by the processes of lithification. The pieces of rock that are visible are angular fragments, meaning they have somewhat jagged edges. This means that the fragments in the breccia did not travel far before they were deposited. If they had traveled longer and further they would have become rounded, in which case the resulting sedimentary rock would have been called conglomerate.
Yes, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock! It's a lithified mix of clasts, generally rounded to some degree, in a finer silt or sand matrix, all formed from deposits of the weathering products of earlier, often (but not exclusively) igneous, rock. If the clasts are coarse and angular the rock is a breccia.
If the sedimentary rock contains angular gravel sized (> 2mm) sediment it is called a brecciia. If the gravel is rounded it is called a conglomerate.

Rock salt and rock gypsum are common examples of a group of chemical sedimentary rocks called evaporities. When a sedimentary rock consists of angular, grave sized particles is breccia.

angular unconformity
Rounded pebbles: conglomerate. Angular gravel: breccia.
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
Firstly, a breccia is itself a kind of sedimentary rock. It consists mainly of large (pea sized and up), angular sediment grains. For an existing sedimentary rock to become a breccia, it must be weathered into fragments, redeposited elsewhere, and buried to sufficient pressure for the sediment to become rock.
conglomerate
angular velocity
Breccia is made up of pebbles, boulders, cobbles or gravel that are angular in shape. Conglomerate is similar to Breccia but have a rounded shape instead of angular shape.
