Gentle Slab Boulder

Named rock

Why this matters

Gentle Slab Boulder is a prominent glacial erratic, likely of igneous or metamorphic origin, deposited during the last Ice Age (approximately 10,000 to 15,000 years ago). It is notable for its distinctive flat, slab-like shape and is thought to have been transported by ice sheets from a distant source area, providing evidence of past glacial activity in the region.
