What do you call it?

By what name do you know this type of rock where you live? Here in Michigan we call them "Pudding Stones". I have been told that the trappers thought they looked like puddung with pieces of fruit in it.

We call it "leeverite".

It is hard to tell from the small picture. It looks like a cemented conglomerate. There will be many different local names depending upon the location in the country.

Also being from within Michigan, depending upon the depth below surface, or if at surface, it could be a till from one of the recent glacial epochs.

Hope that this helps.

Also, you might try contacting a local or regional geological society or a natural history museum.

Here in this part of Michigan, common name is "pudding stone." Geologists would probably call it conglomerate.

Cut one open with a masonry or tile saw. If solid, the conglomerate would be it. But if hollow and rather attractive, it is a geode.
