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.
Conglomerate
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made of the largest particles, which are typically rounded pebbles and boulders.
Pebble conglomerate is rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments.
Conglomerate forms as a result of the consolidation of sediments which contain rounded pebbles, cobbles, or even boulders of rocks of various types. The rocks that make up the conglomerate are compacted and are cemented together by silica, clay, iron, or calcitic mineral cements which bind all of the clasts together.
Conglomerate rock would be formed by the compaction and cementation of rounded pebbles.

Sedimentary rocks made up of rounded pebbles cemented together are called conglomerate rocks. These rocks typically have a coarse texture and are formed through the deposition and lithification of pebbles in a sedimentary environment.
Conglomerate
Rounded pebbles: conglomerate. Angular gravel: breccia.
If the pebbles are rounded, then the rock is a conglomerate. If the pebbles have sharper edges, the the rock is a breccia. Both are types of sedimentary rock.
This type of rock is known as conglomerate. It forms when rounded pebbles are deposited and then cemented together by minerals, often creating a distinctive appearance of varying colored pebbles within a matrix. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that typically indicates the past presence of rivers or alluvial fans.

Conglomerate; a clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded pebbles and sand cemented together.
The age of pebbles within a conglomerate can provide a maximum age for the conglomerate itself, as the pebbles must be older than the conglomerate they are found in. However, the pebbles may not necessarily represent the exact age of the conglomerate, as they could have been eroded from older formations and incorporated into a younger conglomerate.

A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
