Dropstone Deposition

Dropstone Deposition is a sedimentary process in glacial marine geology wherein clasts of rock are transported by ice rafting and subsequently released into fine-grained marine sediments upon melting of the carrier ice, thereby serving as a proxy indicator of past glacial activity and ice-rafted debris transport.
