The glacier erratic:
This boulder
was transported to Steinwies about 15000 years ago, during the last
cold period
(Würm-Ice-Age) and comes from austrian central
Alps.
Glacial/Erratic boulder is a piece of rock that deviates
from the type and size of rock native to the place where it is now
found. The name 'erratic' simply means it is in an errant
location.Erratic/glacial boulders like this one, was carried to its
current location by glacial ice. Boulders like this one can be even
larger than this one or as small as pebbles.
The Tauern window exposes an old continental basement composed of
gneisses, amphibolites and Hercynian
granites, belonging to the European foreland. It is
thrusted by
Mesozoic oceanic crust and by the upper-plate continental crust of
the Austroalpine unit, a sequence
of pre-Alpine basement rocks covered by Permomesozoic
sediments. (
Metamophose ) All these units are subdivided into several
nappes. |
