What you are now finding is called "conglomerate", and is a combination of different-sized stones cemented together over time. Almost a coarse form of sandstone, which is the same thing, but with small-sized sand. An even finer-grained sedimentary rock called siltstone holds excellent fossils in British Columbia.

I believe your sample shown is very young, still in the formative stage, and might even be cemented together with remains of river gravel.

Thanks for the help----I'm going to wrap up the green rocks with an ID of A metamorphosed intrusive igneous rock called granodiorite.After hours of looking at rocks!

That is indeed a good stone to end on...

Did you know a cobble of granodiorite was used by Ellis Hughes to identify the Willamette Meteorite he found in 1902? Granodiorite is not native to Oregon, and perhaps the same cobble was later to help prove the Willamette didn't fall in Oregon, but rather in either Montana, Canada or Idaho.
