a rock formed similarly to conglomerate, except that breccia's rock fragments are very sharp and angular. These irregular rock fragments have not been transported by water, wind, or glaciers long enough to be rounded and smoothed as in conglomerate. The cementing agents silica, calcite (CaCO3), and iron oxides are the same as in conglomerate.

Breccia is a rock consisting of angular fragments of any kind, united by a matrix. The shape of the components indicates that they have been produced by fracture, and have not been subjected to rounding by attrition. Fault breccia is often found between the two walls of a geological fault, and is due to the breaking down of the rocky walls when gri...

Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock. They form in many different violent situations where host rocks are broken and not transported far from their source. These situations include any scenario in which rocks can be broken and re-accumulate to form the angular sediment. Landslides, fault zones, cryptolithic explosion even...
