glacial drift/till

The rock debris deposited by glaciers is called drift. Drift consists of very fine to very coarse rock debris. If unstratified and unsorted, it is called glacial till. Till is deposited directly by ice and is unsorted because ice cannot separate rock fragments of different sizes

Glacial till deposits

During the Pleistocene, debris carried by glacial ice (called till) was deposited across eastern Nebraska. Geological evidence suggests large continental ice sheetscovered parts of eastern Nebraska at least twice during the Pleistocene.
