Conglomerate vs Sandstone Information Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock which forms from rounded gravel and boulder sized clasts which are cemented together in a matrix. Sandstone is defined as a rock which is composed of sand-sized grains of various minerals mostly of uniform size and often are smooth and rounded.

Shale forms when very fine-grained clay particles are deposited in water which settle at the bottom of water bodies. They are later compacted hence forming shale. Conglomerate forms where sediments consisting mainly of pebble and cobble-size clasts at least two millimeters in diameter starts accumulating.

The main difference between sandstone and shale is that sandstone is a sedimentary rock mainly made of sand or quartz grains, while shale is a finely stratified sedimentary rock of silt and clay-size mineral particles.
