Timing and dynamics of Late Wolstonian Substage ‘Moreton Stadial’ (MIS 6) glaciation in the English West Midlands, UK [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Glaciation during the late Middle Pleistocene is widely recognized across continental northwest Europe, but its extent and palaeoenvironmental significance in the British Isles are disputed. Although glaciogenic sediments at Wolston, Warwickshire, in the

Microfossils in the Ordovician erratic boulders from Southwestern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1995 Chitinozoans, ostracods and acritarchs found in four glacially transported limestone boulders from the south-western coast of Finland have been studied in order to test the usefulness of these microfossil groups in age determinations. Also rare specimens

Huge erratic boulders in Tonga deposited by a prehistoric tsunami [PDF]
Geology, 2009 Along some coastlines there are erratic boulders apparently emplaced by tsunamis or cyclonic storms; evaluating their origin and time of emplacement places constraints on the frequency, severity, and location of coastal hazards. Seven such large coral limestone boulders are present near Fahefa village on Tongatapu Island, southwest Pacific, apparently ...

Erratic Boulders in the Valley of the Calder [PDF]
Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, 1871 The objects of this paper are, in the first place, to describe certain deposits of water-washed boulders existing in the valley of the Calder; and, secondly, to offer an explanation of the phenomena they present, hoping to gain information from the discussion that may arise from the attempt, rather than expecting that the theories I advance will prove ...

On the Transportal of Erratic Boulders from a lower to a higher level [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of LondonIt will, I think, be generally admitted that the most valid objection which has been advanced against the theory of the transportal of erratic boulders by floating ice, lies in the fact of their having not unfrequently been carried from a lower to a higher level. Mr. Hopkins, indeed, referring to certain boulders of a peculiar conglomerate described by
