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.

What minerals make up conglomerate?
Hi there, a conglomerate is actually a crock where the dominant grain size is larger than a certain size. From memory it is 5mm. A conglomerate can be made from any mineral assemblage. www.aapg.org is a good place to find out more
Compare and contrast conglomerate and evaporite?
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. Conglomerate forms from the erosion and transportation of pre-existing rocks, while evaporite forms through the evaporation of water. Both rocks can contain a variety of minerals and can provide clues about the environment in which they formed.
What is a solid that is made up of two or more minerals called?
I think it's called a rock. Maybe a conglomerate.
What causes crystalline layers through conglomerate rocks these layers cut through individual rocks?
The conglomerate must have been subjected to stresses sufficient to cause fracture in the individual rocks making up the conglomerate. The cracks were then infilled by minerals precipitating from fluids which were migrating through the rock.
How is conglomerate made?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of tiny rounded pebbles cemented together by sediments that pile on top of them. The pebbles become cemented together by minerals like silica, calcite, and iron oxides.
How is conglomerate?
