The name for an isolated boulder of unexpected rock type that has been transported by a glacier and stranded after the ice melts is ERRATIC.

> Erratic is different from the local bedrock. It is a rock fragment that is glacier-transported . Erratic may be found on the ground surface which may be in the same size as pebbles to huge boulders.
