Glacially‐deformed sediments have often been observed to contain masses of sorted sediment in which delicate sedimentary structures remain preserved. These features, variously termed “lenses”, “blocks”, “intraclasts” range in surface area from a few mm2 to many tens of m2 and when extensive lead to...
