Pudinga

As pudingas son un tipo de conglomerado formado por croios caracteristicamente redondeados cuxa cor adoita contrastar coa matriz de gran fino que os rodea, xeralmente areosa, e co cemento. Os croios redondeados de cor contrastada dánlle a este tipo de conglomerados a aparencia de uvas ou pudin.Neuendorf, K.E.K., J.P. Mehl, Jr., and J.A. Jackson (2005) Glossary of Geology.
