Thanks for sharing the term glacial erratics; I knew them as glacial till or glacial rubble.

I thought erratics were truly massive boulders that sometimes end up in unlikely places where they don't resemble the local bedrock, because they were carried by glaciers which eventually melted. But I'm not a geologist nor geotech engineer.
