Abstract
Glaciotectonic features were considered unusual or rare glacial phenomena when first recognized more than a century ago. This point of view persisted for a long time, because the documented examples of glaciotectonic landforms and structures were few and far between. Recognition and description of glaciotectonic features became increasingly common beginning in the 1950s, leading Sauer (1978) to conclude that such features are probably widespread phenomena in the outer portions of glaciated regions.
