Okay, so this is the difference between uh, glacial till,
-
Not Synced
which is unstratified,
-
Not Synced
and non-glacial till.
-
Not Synced
So, hopefully you can see that this uh, gravel here
-
Not Synced
is well-stratified.
-
Not Synced
There are a lot of sedimentary features here.
-
Not Synced
Um, you can see graded bedding.
-
Not Synced
You can also see cross bedding.
-
Not Synced
Maybe I can just sort of zoom in on that.
-
Not Synced
So there's cross bedding right there.
-
Not Synced
Very coarse uh, cross bedding.
-
Not Synced
However, the stratification or the horizontal layering,
-
Not Synced
the general horizontal here,
-
Not Synced
indicates that this is not glacial gravel.
-
Not Synced
Even though it's approximately the correct size
-
Not Synced
and sorting distribution.
-
Not Synced
The presence of sedimentary features
-
Not Synced
as well as uh, the stratification,
-
Not Synced
that's the horizontal layering,
-
Not Synced
indicated as not glacial gravel.
-
Not Synced
Okay. I'll try and show you glacial gravel a little later.
-
Not Synced
So this is uh, glacial till.
-
Not Synced
It is gravel that is deposited by a glacier.
-
Not Synced
Um, and the identifying characteristics of it
-
Not Synced
is well-rounded clasts,
-
Not Synced
however they're not really really well-rounded.
-
Not Synced
They are definitely rounded to some extent.
-
Not Synced
Um, oftentimes there are striations on each individual clast,
-
Not Synced
maybe I can show you that later.
