Practically anything can be in conglomerate. Conglomerates that might be forming today could even contain metals like steel, aluminum, gold jewelry or plastics and other synthetic materials; of course these conglomerates will not become solid rock for millions of years.

Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded gravel-sized particles, while evaporite is a sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of minerals that were dissolved in water.

Both rocks can contain a variety of minerals and can provide clues about the environment in which they formed.
