breccia

A clastic rock composed of angular gravel-size fragments; the consolidated equivalent of rubble. The designation gravel-size refers to a mean particle diameter greater than 0.08 in. (2 mm), which means that 50% or more of the particles (by volume) are this size or larger. Various classifications specify different values for the degree of angularity. One system specifies angular or subangular fragments (roundness ≤ 0.25), whereas another restricts the term breccia to aggregates with angular fragments (roundness ≤0.10).
