a deposit can change laterally, so it might be deposited a conglomerate upstream and further downstream a sandstone, but once it is deposited it cannot be transformed unless it is subject to heat and/or pressure, it will then be a metamorphic rock. If the river is in retrograde then the deposit will grade upwards from a conglomerate to a sandstone
