It sounds very much like glacial erratic to me! Merge it, maybe? -- 217.185.228.199 19:28, 28 April 2007
I'd suggest that this move to a new section of situations that might be mistaken for dropstones, but are not. Turbidity currents can indeed contain large clasts like dropstones, but the clast didn't drop in from through the water column (as required by the name) and won't display the evidence of such. -- Zamphuor 13:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
