Hi David
Looks like I got a little ahead of myself with using Zag as an example of a 
"simple" breccia. You are correct that it does consist of all types H3, H4, H5, 
and H6. I was originally told the light clasts were H6 and the dark were H3. 
Of course it is a lot more complicated than that. So for breccias all you can 
tell from the current style of using a dash is that it contains two or more of 
the possible types between the numbers listed.
Thanks!
Mike
