Windblown glacial sediments.
Glacial sediments are typically unsorted, meaning they contain a wide range of particle sizes. They often show distinct layering or banding due to the way glaciers move and deposit material. These sediments may also contain a mix of rock types and sizes due to the abrasive nature of glacial ice grinding against the underlying bedrock.
