Breccia Pebble
Sedimentary Breccia
Arkosic Sandstone (or Conglomeritic Sandstone fragment)
Arkose (rich in feldspar)
Weathered rock pebble, possibly sandstone
Likely quartz-rich sandstone; precise identification requires closer examination
Tan chert or fine-grained sandstone fragment
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly chalcedony-rich chert
Rounded brown river pebble
Indeterminate lithic clast; possibly weathered sandstone or fine-grained volcanic rock
Feldspar-rich granite or granitic gneiss
Granite; mainly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica
Sandstone
Sandstone (composed predominantly of Quartz, SiO2, with Feldspar and Clay minerals)
Conglomerate
Polymictic conglomerate; rounded clasts cemented in a fine-grained matrix
Puddingstone (Polished Pebble)
Conglomerate (Quartz-rich)
Concrete or artificial stone core sample
Artificial conglomerate
Jasper Conglomerate (specifically Puddingstone)
Jasper Conglomerate (Siliceous sedimentary rock)
Weathered quartz-rich metamorphic rock, likely quartzite
Quartzite (mostly SiO₂), possibly ferruginous mica-bearing quartzite
Conglomerate (possibly breccia)
Clastic sedimentary rock; chiefly quartz- and feldspar-rich clasts in a weathered iron-oxide cement
Granite fragment
Granite; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase, with minor mica or amphibole
Puddingstone (Quartzite Pebble)
Metaconglomerate / Jasper-Quartzite Pebble
Conglomerate
Clastic Sedimentary Conglomerate
Conglomerate
Clastic sedimentary conglomerate
Weathered quartz-rich rock, likely sandstone or quartzite
Quartz sandstone (possibly weakly metamorphosed quartzite); predominantly SiO₂

Quartzite (mostly SiO₂); possibly quartz arenite sandstone
Tumbled tan stone, possibly sandstone or weathered limestone
Indeterminate; likely quartz-rich sandstone or calcitic limestone
Iron-rich rock, possibly ironstone
Likely ferruginous sandstone or ironstone; exact identification requires testing
Weathered sandstone or iron-stained quartzite
Quartz-rich sandstone; possibly weakly metamorphosed quartzite (SiO₂-dominant)
Conglomerate (Asphaltic/Anthropogenic)
Clastic sedimentary rock / Bituminous mixture
Greenish-gray quartz-rich rock, possibly weathered granite or quartzite

Likely weathered sandstone or iron-rich sedimentary rock
Quartz-rich sandstone, possibly ferruginous sandstone
Sandstone (with possibly iron oxides and other minerals)
Sandstone
Likely weathered sandstone or iron-stained sedimentary pebble
Indeterminate clastic sedimentary rock; possibly quartz-rich sandstone
Weathered quartz-bearing rock, possibly sandstone or quartzite
Provisional: quartzite (mostly SiO₂); could alternatively be iron-stained quartz sandstone
Brecciated rock, likely polymict breccia
Polymict breccia; exact lithology cannot be determined from the image
Banded sandstone
Quartz-rich sandstone (quartz arenite or feldspathic sandstone; exact type cannot be determined from the image)
Concrete with Aggregate
Artificial Conglomerate (Cement and Aggregate)
Quartz Pebble / River Silt Grain
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Weathered sandstone or iron-rich sedimentary rock
Quartz-rich arenite, possibly ferruginous sandstone
Unidentified orange-brown rock fragment
Likely weathered iron-rich volcanic rock or ochre-bearing material; exact identification is impossible from the blurred image
Sandstone (Common Quartz Pebble/Rock)
Sedimentary rock / Quartz arenite
Quartz-rich sandstone
Quartz arenite (likely); predominantly SiO₂ grains cemented by silica, calcite, or iron oxides
Weathered sandstone or quartzite cobble
Quartz-rich sandstone; possibly metamorphosed to quartzite
Metaconglomerate
