1.1 Formation
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock which is composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock which are cemented together by a fine-grained matrix and it forms where broken, angular fragments of rock or mineral debris accumulate.
Mylonites are ductilely deformed rocks formed by the accumulation of large shear strain, in ductile fault zones.
