Erratic
Glacially transported stones and boulders. Erratics may be embedded in till or occur on the ground surface. They range in size from pebbles to huge boulders weighing thousands of tons. Their transport range from less than 1 km to more than 800 km. Erratics composed of distinctive rock types can be traced to their point of origin and serve as indicators of glacial flow direction.
Australia adopts the Geoscience Australia "Geoscience Data Dictionary" for geological feature classes located on the web at: http://www.agso.gov.au/general/technotes/20011112_53.jsp
