Puddingstone (Jasper Conglomerate)
Conglomerate (specific type: Jasper Conglomerate or Hertfordshire Puddingstone)
Coarse Sandstone Pebble
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (Sandstone)
Rounded tan cobble, likely quartzite or sandstone
Quartzite (mostly quartz, SiO₂); possibly quartz-rich sandstone
Rounded reddish-brown pebble
Likely ferruginous sandstone or iron-rich quartzite; exact identification requires a fresh surface and tests
Weathered quartz-rich metamorphic rock, likely quartzite
Quartzite, composed predominantly of quartz (SiO₂), possibly with feldspar and mica impurities
Likely weathered sandstone or iron-rich volcanic rock
Indeterminate from photograph; probable ferruginous sandstone, possibly altered volcanic rock
Dark coarse-grained rock, likely basalt or gabbro
Basalt (fine-grained) or gabbro (coarse-grained), composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene
Weathered yellow-brown rock pebble
Undetermined; possibly iron-oxide-stained sandstone or mudstone
Breccia (likely quartz-cemented polymict breccia)
Clastic breccia; chiefly angular quartz/feldspar or carbonate clasts in a silica- or carbonate-rich matrix
Graywacke
Lithic Sandstone (Graywacke)
Graywacke
Graywacke Sandstone
Arkosic Sandstone
Arkose (Clastic Sedimentary Rock)
Biotite-bearing granite or granitic gneiss
Quartz–feldspar–biotite granite; possibly weakly foliated granitic gneiss
Puddingstone (Jasper-Conglomerate)
Jasper Conglomerate (SiO2 matrix with Jasper clasts)
Conglomerate
Conglomerate
Likely iron-rich sandstone or ironstone pebble
Ferruginous sandstone (quartz-rich sandstone cemented by iron oxides); exact identification requires testing
Siltstone with Weathering Rind
Siltstone (composed of microscopic quartz and clay minerals)
Weathered sandstone
Quartz-rich sandstone (clastic sedimentary rock)
Weathered sandstone or siltstone pebble
Indeterminate siliciclastic sedimentary rock, likely quartz-rich sandstone (SiO₂-dominated)
Graywacke with Quartz Vein
Lithic Sandstone (Graywacke)
Gneiss
Gneiss (Foliated Metamorphic Rock)
Puddingstone
Conglomerate
Breccia
Breccia (Clastic sedimentary rock)
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or quartzite
Indeterminate; likely quartz-feldspar aggregate, potentially granitic or quartzitic material
Weathered sandstone or limestone fragment
Likely quartz-rich sandstone; possibly calcarenite or weathered limestone
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (composed mostly of quartz, SiO2)
Brown sandstone or weathered iron-rich sedimentary rock
Likely quartz-rich sandstone, potentially ferruginous sandstone; exact identification requires testing
Mixed stream gravel and common rock specimens
Predominantly quartz-rich granitoid, quartzite, sandstone, shale/slate, and mafic volcanic fragments; exact species cannot be determined confidently from the image
Fossiliferous limestone
Bioclastic limestone (calcite-rich carbonate rock)
Sedimentary Pebble
Sedimentary Rock Fragment
Quartzite
Metamorphic Rock (Mainly SiO2)
Banded gneiss
Quartz–feldspar gneiss, possibly biotite-bearing; exact identification requires testing
Likely weathered gneiss or granite fragment
Quartz–feldspar–mica aggregate; probably granitoid gneiss, identification uncertain from the photograph
Conglomerate (polymictic, possibly metamorphosed)
Polymictic conglomerate; clasts cemented in a dark, likely quartz-rich matrix
Puddingstone
Conglomerate
Rounded river pebble
Unidentified fine-grained clastic rock, possibly sandstone or mudstone
Pink granite (weathered fragment)
Granite, primarily quartz–feldspar–mica (pink alkali feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite/hornblende)
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly quartzite
Quartzite (tentative identification; exact rock type cannot be confirmed from the image)
Quartz (with inclusions / Sandstone fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Greywhacke (River Pebble)
Graywacke (immature sandstone)
Dark, coarse-grained rock (possibly diorite or amphibolite)
Undetermined; likely a mafic to intermediate rock containing plagioclase and dark amphibole or pyroxene
Rounded river pebble, likely quartz-rich sandstone or weathered igneous rock
Indeterminate; possibly quartzite, sandstone, or fine-grained granitic rock
