Abstract/NotesM. B. Edwards comments: Of all the geological occurrences
he had seen, this was the most remarkable and
revealing. For him it was a spiritual place, and the journey
was a pilgrimage; he used this word himself. This was
now the seventh time he was making this journey. Thus
wrote Rosendahl (1945, p. 22; my translation from
Norwegian) about the geologist Sederholm. Decades
later, after dozens more publications of innumerable
additional outcrops, the ‘Reusch's Moraine’ exposure
of upper Proterozoic glacial tillite resting on a glacially
striated pavement (Reusch, 1891) remains unique and
significant.Writing about this exposure, Jensen & Wulff-Pedersen
(1996) concluded ‘There is no evidence for glacial origin
or contribution for the diamictite material’ (p. 137) in the
Bigganjargga tillite. This discussion explains why I disagree
with their conclusions.
