Conglomerate is clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded pebbles of at least 2 mm, cemented together by silica, iron, or clay minerals. The rounded clasts in conglomerate are evidence that the material was transported a fairly long distance before deposition occurred; the tumbling and grinding by ice or water creating the smoothed edges.
