Dear Karin
Rock looks like-conglomerate-
Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks. They are made up of large sediments like sand and pebbles. The sediment is so large that pressure alone cannot hold the rock together; it is also cemented together with dissolved minerals
Conglomerate rock is a common sedimentary rock. It forms in many different environments and settings where the energy of transport is high enough to move large grains. The sediment from which it forms is much courser than other clastic sedimentary rocks except for breccias(source-websites)
