Cobble refers to rock fragments that are larger than pebbles but smaller than boulders, typically measuring between 64 millimeters (about 2.5 inches) and 256 millimeters (about 10 inches) in diameter. In geological terms, cobbles are often found in riverbeds and on shorelines. Their size makes them significant in various applications, including construction and landscaping.
