TILL


Meaning of TILL in English

I

In geology, the unsorted material deposited directly by glacial ice and showing no stratification.

Till is sometimes called boulder clay because it is composed of clay, boulders of intermediate size, or both. The rock fragments are usually angular and sharp rather than rounded, because they are deposited from ice and have undergone little water transport. The pebbles and boulders may be faceted and striated from grinding while lodged in the glacier.
