| has gloss | (noun) unstratified soil deposited by a glacier; consists of sand and clay and gravel and boulders mixed together boulder clay, till |
| has gloss | eng: Boulder clay, in geology, is a deposit of clay, often full of boulders, which is formed in and beneath glaciers and ice-sheets wherever they are found, but is in a special sense the typical deposit of the Glacial Period in northern Europe and North America. Boulder clay is variously known as till or ground moraine (Ger. Blocklehme, Geschiebemergel or Grundmoraene; Fr. argile a blocc1ux, moraine profonde; Swed. Krosstenslera). It is one of the group of poorly sorted materials described by the non-genetic term diamicton. It is usually a stiff, tough clay devoid of stratification; though some varieties are distinctly laminated. Occasionally, within the boulder clay, there are irregular lenticular masses of more or less stratified sand, gravel or loam. As the boulder clay is the result of the abrasion (direct or indirect) of the older rocks over which the ice has travelled, it takes its color from them; thus, in Britain, over Triassic and Old Red Sandstone areas the clay is red, over Carboniferous rocks it is often black, over Silurian rock it may be buff or grey, and where the ice has passed over chalk the clay may be quite white and chalky (chalky boulder clay). |

| has gloss | deu: Geschiebelehm, auch als Blocklehm bezeichnet, ist der Teil des Grundmoränenmaterials, der durch oberflächliche Verwitterung aus dem kalkhaltigen Geschiebemergel hervorgegangen ist. Geschiebelehm kann darüber hinaus schon primär durch die Gletschererosion von kalkfreien Gesteinen entstehen. |

| has gloss | nld: Keileem is een grondsoort bestaande uit een slecht gesorteerd mengsel van keien, grind, zand en leem. Vaak worden in keileem ook zwerfstenen gevonden. Daarnaast kwam er oorspronkelijk vaak ook kalk in keileem voor, dat door chemische verwering vrijwel volledig is verdwenen. Keileem wordt onder landijs afgezet en kan dan ook als een vorm van till (grondmorene) worden beschouwd. |
