Would this happen to be Pudding stone rough or just some kind of conglomerate? Thanks.

I think there are a lot of different stones called "pudding stone". It's not the stuff we call pudding stone in Michigan.

Here are a couple Michigan pudding stones. Chuck (DrummondIslandRocks) will jump in here with some better specimens. Here's a big one (the one on the left): Some smaller ones. The green is algae. Another:

I take it that its not that uncommon where you live Mel to find some. Nice picture! The difference between it and the conglomerate i find, is my matrix always is colored with most of the mix of agates inside are clear to white stone. Sometimes they are all pink agate inside a red matrix or green matrix and clear to white. Thanks for the rough shots.

I see conglomerates from all sorts of places being sold as "pudding stone". The matrix and pebbles in yours resembles some stuff I have seen from the U.K. you can click the thumbnails on this page to see larger photos. www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/33444-the-histroy-of-hertfordshire-puddingstone/Here's a bit of information taken from the website of the Island I find all of mine on. "The Puddingstone got its name from the British settlers that were stationed at area Forts like that found on Drummond Island. It is so named because the English believed it looked like boiled suet pudding with berries. The one you see below is an example of a Jasper Conglomerate. Puddingstones can be found as small as a pebble and larger than a dump truck! They can be found along the shores of Drummond Island in our forests and anywhere earth has been turned." Chuck

Those in this series seem more like granite to me. I think you maybe correct on the two large ones. The small red-pink is not the same, something is different about it. It has more resemblance to the pudding stone. Thanks!

I found one under rocks and minerals of my area in a pic. But they never listed a name for it. What good is that? lol You think this is also granite? I'll slice one open when i get a new blade for my 6 inch. Curious now.
