Breccia ( Template:PronEng , Italian : breach ) is a rock composed of angular fragments of minerals or rocks in a matrix ( cementing material), that may be similar or different in composition to the fragments. The word is a loan from Italian , and in that language indicates both loose gravel and stone made by cemented gravel . A breccia may have a variety of different origins, as indicated by the named types including sedimentary breccia, tectonic breccia, igneous breccia, impact breccia and hydrothermal breccia.

Breccia ( IPA : /ˈbrɛtʃiə, ˈbrɛʃ-/ , Italian : breach ) is typically a sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments from a previous rock structure, cemented in a matrix that may be of a similar or a different material. It is therefore a clastic rock .

Breccia , derived from the Latin word for "broken," is typically a sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments in a matrix that may be of a similar or a different material. A conglomerate by contrast is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded fragments or clasts of pre-existing rocks. Both breccias and conglomerates are composed of fragments averaging greater than 2 mm in size. The angular shape of the fragments indicate that the material has not been transported far from its source. Breccias indicate accumulation in a juvenile stream channel or accumulations due to gravity erosion . Talus slopes may become buried and the talus cemented in a similar manner.
