Sedimentary Clasts

Sedimentary rock fragments or grains that were previously broken from older rocks and then compacted and cemented to form a new rock.

Fracturing

The process of creating fractures or cracks within rocks, often artificially induced to enhance permeability in subsurface reservoirs for resources like oil or gas.

Angular Pieces

Describes fragments of rock or material that have sharp edges and are not rounded, often found in sediment or debris flows.
