Diamicton
Diamicton : through and µεικτός is a terrigenous sediment that is unsorted to poorly sorted and contains particles ranging in size from clay to boulders, suspended in a matrix of mud or sand.
The term was proposed by Flint and others as a purely descriptive term, devoid of any reference to a specific origin or depositional environment. Although the term is most commonly applied to unsorted glacial deposits, other processes that create diamictons are solifluction, landslides, debris flows, and turbiditic olistostromes.
Lithified diamicton is referred to as diamictite.
