Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "If we examine a field in Maine or New York, or norther Indiana, or Iowa, we shall find the stones, the soils, and the subsoil's often consisting of different material from the underlying bedrock. Pebbles and cobblestones, small boulders and great ones, even to hundreds of tons in weight, are scattered over the surface or buried in the finer waste. Bedrock like these loose stones may be found 10, 20, 50, or even some hundreds of miles away. these are "erratic" or strayed boulders. once moved by a glacier. as the Malaspina Glacier is now carrying stones from Mt. St. Elias to the sea-border."
