How can an esker be quickly differentiated from a moraine by its sediment?
Since the esker was deposited in a flowing water regime, I would not expect to find many fine clays there. And I would not expect to find any large boulders, >1m in an esker. The moraine on the other hand will have parts that have been formed by rocks grinding each other in a comparatively waterless regime. So it will have lots of fine clays. Boulders >>1m could even be a feature of a moraine.
