However, unlike the above conglomerate, the clasts are not imbricated. The matrix supporting this conglomerate was a comprised of feldspar rich silt to sands but also included an abundance of clay sediments making up 50 percent of the matrix. These properties lead us to believe the deposition was rapid, most likely a flood event of a river system. A flood would bring in and randomly dump the large clast in no specific order. As the flood settles, the depositional energy lessens and finer sediments are deposited. It may also be possible that this formed in a basin. These conglomerate beds were all about a meter thick and would need plenty of room to build. Still some flood event would have to bring the large clasts and gaps would be filled in from finer sediments settling from
