Sign in to saveAlso known as psephitic
Psephite (Greek: psephos, "pebble") is either a sediment or sedimentary rock composed of fragments that are coarser than sand and which are enclosed in a matrix that varies in kind and amount. It is equivalent to a rudite. Shingle, gravel, breccia, and especially conglomerate, would all be considered psephites. It is equivalent to the Latin-derived term rudite. Psephite is more commonly used for a metamorphosed rudite.

Псефит (от др.-греч. ψῆφος — «галька», также грубообломочная порода) — обломочная горная порода с обломками диаметром более нескольких миллиметров, как окатанными (валуны, гальки, гравий), так и неокатанными (глыбы, щебень). Псефиты бывают как сцементированные (например, конгломераты, гравелиты, брекчии), так и несцементированные (или рыхлые, как галечник или гравий).
