General Environmental Setting:

    Non marine: fluvial

Rock Description:
    Conglomerate

Depositional Environment Represented:

    Braided channel

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

    Such coarse conglomerates are restricted to very high energy channels. In mass flow deposits the degree of rounding of clasts evident in this sample will not occur.

General Environmental Setting:

    Non marine: fluvial

Rock Description:
    Pebble-conglomerate (well sorted)

Depositional Environment Represented:

    Channel

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

    Any high energy environment such as channels, beach or bar facies where fine sediment is selectively removed.
