Abstract

On a lawn at No. 629 West Maple Avenue, in Centerville, Iowa, are located two large quartzose conglomerate boulders which are of more than usual interest. These were removed from the glacial till during the process of excavating for the cellar under the dwelling now situated on the same lot and when found were said to be buried beneath several feet of drift material.
