It is (with outside the box thinking)a misspelt FANGLOMERATE. A "rudite" deposited in an "alluvial fan." RUDITE= A classic rock with >30% clasts of Gravel Grade(>2mm) with or without a matrix of sand and /or MUD GRADE.
So, slinging some hints , reading between the lines; or are you willing to fax the report to me when I am out in a few minutes? You know the #...at the end...add the four digets I will put in my PP for the afternoon. I would like to see it, why not??? ?

A fanglomerite is a bunch of rocky debris that is usually found at the river mouth or where a giant river widens and the waters slow down a bit. A lot of the fanglomerites in Arizona formed when the ice age was in a rapid retreat. Right near Hoover dam there are beautiful fanglomerites of the Muddy Creek Formation that are cross cut by the high way. They are on the Arizona side. There is one of these cut fans that has a volcanic dike cutting up through it. It is on the north side of the road. A great spot to stop and see geology. mike
