What is Conglomerate Rock?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. It has pebbles glued in the rock so it looks like a lot of pebbles put together.
Is conglomerate a clastic rock?
No. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What does non-clastic mean?
Non-clastic means not formed from other rocks or rock particles.Non-clastic or chemical rock, is composed of chemical precipitate out of solution.Clastic rock is formed from particles of other rock.
What makes a clastic rock different from a bioclastic rock?
A Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. A Bioclastic rock is a clastic rock but the fragments are not of preexisting rock but of organic shell and or bone fragments.

Is a petoskey stone clastic?
A "petoskey" stone was originally an fossiliferous (with a coral fossil), organic (sedimentary) limestone. The original limestone has been glaciated and pieces of the fossiliferous limestone containing the corals have been plucked form their bedrock matrix and rounded into pebbles as they have been carried along by ice. When the ice melted these pebbles have been dropped into whatever was below them. This means a petroskey stone is a clast in a "new", modern clastic rock. However the stones themselves are not originally from a clastic rock, they are sedimentary in origin.

How did the conglomerate rock begin?
It began as an aggregat of unconsolidated sediment containing pebbles of various rock types. Upon lithification, it became the sedimentary rock called conglomerate.
