Description
   Rounded gravel particles mostly toward the upper size range of granules (4-64 mm). Lithic fragments include chert, meta-sedimentary rocks, milky (metamorphic) quartz, and occasional igneous rocks and micrite limestones. The matrix (material filling the spaces between the granules) is mostly sand, silt, and clay.
