I believe it's river rock. There are mountains of dredge tailings around NorCal from back in the gold rush days when they dredged just about every lake & river looking for gold and left the rocks behind. ...

Yeah there might not even be a difference, but always thought of gravel as smooth "pebbles" whereas this rock is just that, jagged rock. They used to use a bunch of some similar rock all over land oil and gas locations in the south as it makes a stable bed after it settles. It was river rock too

Just an fyi: There is pea gravel which is quarried and found to be smooth and rounded in its natural form because it was once in a stream bed millions of years back, it is somewhat decorative and expensive to use in ready mixed concrete, so the cheaper route for concrete applications would be to use crushed gravel both are about 3/8's of an inch average. Next step up is 3/4 inch crushed rock also used in ready mix concrete, it has a different strength, by hydraulically crushing a cured sample, it would be noted at what PSI it took to break the sample if it makes a required amount of PSI then the job Inspectors are happy... In the south we used coleche to line our driveways if they were not paved. Its like a limestone but jagged when crushed and pure white and costs less. At first that is what I thought was at Lone Oak. But zooming the pic shows it to be river rock of a graded size, smooth sided. Thanks for that pic JJ .
