Somebody should make a Cobble article that isn't a disambig. Someone who knows about it at all. -- Kevin (TALK) (MUSIC) 03:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Gravel in US is limited by #4 sieve which is 4.75 mm, not 2 mm, as in probably Great Britain? See Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering —Preceding unsigned comment added by Veriti ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Crushed rock used for building roads is often called "blue metal" in Australia. Its not metal, is it basalt ? It is a dark bluish-grey colour. Eregli bob ( talk) 08:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
I cannot find a source that agrees with the Breton etymology. The sources provided give the Old French etymology of "gravele" or "gravelle". The Collins dictionary mentions a possible Celtic root, but does not concretely name a source word or language. Wiktionary cites the proto-Celtic *grāwā as the ultimate origin, but I assume this is not a good citation to use. If no citation for the Breton etymology can be found, I recommend that it be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.171.61.32 ( talk) 20:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
I concur. The cognate "grève" in French ultimately derives from the proto-Latin *grava, which means "sand." Thus there's nothing attested about Breton or components of riverbanks. I'm revising. JonathanE1980 ( talk) 17:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
What is called 'Pea gravel' on this page is called 'pea shingle' in the UK. Also the shingle disambiguation page does not acknowledge this use.

Because I can't find statistics for any other nation. Surely the U.S. is not the only nation that collects statistics on gravel use? But Google Scholar doesn't dredge up (heh) anything for gravel except from the U.S. Geological Survey, which has only U.S. figures. If any editor can find reliable sources for other nations, please add to the "Production and uses" section. -- Kent G. Budge ( talk) 18:22, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
