Hola Carlos, si tienes una lista con varios agregados puedes guiarte por los tama�os, en Internet puedes encontrar listas que indican la palabra y su tama�o, por ejemplo pebbles xx cm, cobbles, xx cm. Si es el �nico agregado ser� un poco m�s dif�cil.

pebble: a small stone worn, smooth, and "round".

This is probably what they mean. I´ve never heard of "spherical rocks" used as a construction material.

agree Beta Cummins : Agree, pebbles are found in rivers, therefore, their rounded shape.

Peer comment(s):
agree Fred Neild (X) : this would be my guess since you give little context, if you have other aggregates on the list you can decide the terms comparing smaller to larger (e.g. grit, pebbles, cobbles, boulders, etc)
