breccia
A rock composed of angular fragments in a matrix that may be of a similar or a different material
breccia
{n} a stone consisting of fragments agglutinated together
breccia
A course-grained rock, composed of angular, broken rock fragments held together by a mineral cement or a fine-grained matrix
breccia
A rock consisting of sharp fragments cemented by finer-grained material
breccia
Angular fragments of rock produced by movement along a fault or explosive igneous activity The material which surrounds the fragments and cements them together is called matrix and might be vein minerals, igneous material or very fine rock fragments
breccia
A rock dominated with angular fragments within a finer-grained matrix
breccia
A coarse-grained sedimentary rock consisting of angular fragments
breccia
Breccia is typically a rock composed of angular fragments in a matrix that may be of a similar or a different material
breccia
rock consisting of fragments, more or less angular, in a matrix of finer-grained material or of cementing material
breccia
A clastic rock composed of particles more than 2 millimeters in diameter and marked by the angularity of its component grains and rock fragments
breccia
rock consisting of angular fragments in a finer-grained matrix
breccia
a sedimentary rock consisting of variable sized angular, particles that are transported a short distance to the site of deposition These particles may be transported by streams or mudflows
breccia
{i} rock formed from fragments of older rocks
breccia
08 in. (2 mm). Breccia commonly results from processes such as landslides or geologic faulting, in which rocks are fractured. It can also be of igneous explosive origin (e.g., a volcanic breccia)
breccia
Rock consisting of sharp fragments in a fine grained matrix
breccia
Rock made of highly angular, course fragments
breccia
— A coarse-grained rock, composed of angular, broken rock fragments held together by a mineral cement or a fine-grained matrix
breccia
A coarse-grained clastic rock, composed of angular broken rock fragments held together by a mineral cement or in a fine-grained matrix; it differs from conglomerate in that the fragments have sharp edges and unworn corners
breccia
Sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments of derived material cemented together, often the main component of cave or fissure fillings
breccia
a rock made up of angular fragments
breccia
A rock made from mineral fragments cemented together by the heat of meteoroid impact
breccia
A rock type comprised of often large angular fragments of pre-existing rock and set within a finer-grained rock matrix or cement
breccia
Rock characterized by angular or sharp fragments as opposed to waterworn conglomerates
breccia
Fault rocks composed of angular fragments (clasts) of wall rock set in a finer-grained matrix of crushed wall-rock material Matrix is subordinate to clasts, comprising less than 30% of the breccia
breccia
a rudaceous rock consisting of sharp fragments embedded in clay or sand
breccia
Fragments of rock, generally angular in a fine grained matrix, or a matrix of cementing material Breccias include tectonic brecccias, clastic brecccias and volcanic breccias
breccia
A rock in which sharp / angular fragments of older rocks are bound together by a natural cement
breccia
Coarse-grained rock composed of angular fragments of pre-existing rock
breccia
Coarse grained sedimentary rock composed of cemented angular rock fragments
breccia
Rock consisting of angular, coarse fragments embedded in a fine-grain matrix
breccia
united by a cement, and commonly presenting a variety of colors
breccia
(1) Fragmental rock whose components are angular and therefore, as distinguished from conglomerates, are not waterworn (2) Rock made up of highly angular coarse fragments that may be sedimentary or formed by the action of crushing or grinding along faults (3) Volcanic breccia is a more-or-less indurated pyroclastic rock consisting chiefly of accessory and accidental angular ejecta 32 mm or more in diameter lying in a fine tuff matrix
breccia
A rock composed of angular fragments either of the same mineral or of different minerals, etc
breccia
Coarse sedimentary rock consisting of angular or nearly angular fragments larger than
brecciation
