the particle size of the sediments within the rock
Some examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia. These rocks are formed from the accumulation of fragments of pre-existing rocks and minerals, which are then compacted and cemented together over time.
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
Sandstone fits this description, as it is composed of sand-sized grains that are coarser than silt but finer than conglomerate. Sandstone forms when sand grains are compacted and cemented together.

The size of the grains or particles within the rock determines whether it is classified as shale, siltstone, sandstone, or conglomerate. Shale has very fine grains, siltstone has fine grains, sandstone has medium-sized grains, and conglomerate has large grains or pebbles. Additionally, the sorting and composition of the grains can also help differentiate between these rock types.

Gravel, sandstone, and conglomerate are all types of sedimentary rocks.

Conglomerate can include much larger clasts of rock.

both would be a good building material because conglomerate is mixed with water and moisture mixed which makes it easier to stick and sandstone because its above conglomerate. :]

The rock type finer than conglomerate but coarser than siltstone is sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized grains, which are larger than the particles found in siltstone but smaller than the pebbles and cobbles in conglomerate.
