Le rôle des icebergs dans la mise en place des méga-blocs de la batture argileuse à Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer

Abstract

The amount of mega-boulders situated along the south shore of the maritime estuary, suggests that significant concentrations of icebergs occurred in the Goldthwait Sea during the deglaciation of the St. Lawrence valley between 13 500 and 9 500 years ago. Consequently, the sedimentary role of icebergs in releasing coarse debris deserves to be clearly highlighted.
