Findling von Steinwies - Glacial Erratic Boulder EarthCache

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.
