This retired geologist loves Nick Zentner for his contribution to the science. No one has used technology better and presented it in such a logically consistent and understandable while making it entertaining. The best, the very best, KZfaq can be is in videos that provide instruction by a dynamic and interesting speaker.

If you look at the videos from France during the Lahore’s they had 5-10 years ago, small streams and creeks were shown to move incredibly large stones, 10-40 tons, with astonishing speed. The creation of the Columbia river as we know it today would have carried unimaginable amounts of material and floating erratics of incredible size.

An accurate measurement of the rafting potential of these floods are the erratics beached hundreds of miles down stream. If the bergs were indeed 7-20 times the mass of the boulders, then they were at least 630-1,800 tons, judging from the 90 ton Argillite Willamette Erratic from Canada.

A berg caught in a side pool and dropping rocks would dig it's own hole from water washing by, swirling around and rocks of all sizes would collect and dig more by throwing out smaller gravel, hence clusters of various big rocks. Undermining the erratic would roll over every now and then, constantly dig deeper in.

Calgary Alberta: We got erratics all over the south to the US border. Really big ones. Ours are evenly scattered on flat terrain, no valleys for 10s to 50s of miles, so melt back of ice walls fall out. A few clusters that would indicate an ice pack conveyer belt stall for several 100 years and dumped.

You can logically conclude that an erratic is a likely candidate to be an erratic multiple times as it is resting on top of the soil and more likely to be enclosed by the next freezing. I'll bet some of these erratics were brought down on multiple trips from deep inside of Canada.

For a world class excursion into a glacial erratic deposit in northeast Washington, go to Curlew, WA, turn right on Boulder Creek Road, go to the summit, where there is a parking lot called Deer Creek Ski Area. Park there. Thousands upon thousands of rounded granite boulders sitting on top of the summit of this mountain range. Many are the size of several Volkswagons. The region was burned to a crisp in 2015, decimating the forest, but revealing this enormous deposit of ice sheet-dropped erratics. Thrilling! (Great hiking trails!)

I was wondering about that. If rays penetrate everything so easily how is it that the cosmic ray clock only starts on these erratics when the ice melts? Does ice as as a shield against cosmic rays like lead against X-Rays? Doesn't seem likely.

We have many boulders from the wilds of Wales almost 100 miles away in our neighbourhood, we are making trails to see the boulders that are mostly (not all !) Ordovician Felsic Tuffs from Snowdonia. The local geology is Triassic Sandstone so these boulders are not where they should be ! We do have evidence of ice sheets where the erratics are but not exactly with some moraines and till (once called boulder clay) not correlating with the erratic boulders

And that would be a pretty good distance from where any ghost volcano would've once stood.
