混杂沉积岩
混杂沉积岩(英語:)是一種沉積岩,由未淘選或低淘選度的陸源沉積物組成,其顆粒大小差距很大,從粘土到巨礫,基質為泥岩或砂岩。該地質名詞由 Richard Foster Flint 和其他人創造的,作為一個純粹的描述性名詞,並沒有提及任何該名詞的起源[1]。 一些地質學家將這名詞僅用于未分選或分選差的礫岩或角礫岩,它們中的礫石顆粒少,被為泥岩或砂岩基質包圍。[2] 。未岩石化的混杂沉积岩稱為混雜沉积物(英語:)。冰川沉積物,例如冰碛石和泥礫,也是混杂沉积岩一種,因爲它們的淘選度很低。混杂沉积岩經常被錯誤地解釋為冰川作用造成的。但事實上,最常見的混杂沉积岩來源是在構造運動活動區,由海底泥流或垮塌造成的。
