Talk:Namibian drumlins

Drumlins?
Hmmm. . . though the researchers do appear to use the term drumlins, what they describe are not drumlins but lineations carved into solid rock, supposedly by the passage of glacial ice over thee rocks. These are not drumlins. Geopersona (talk) 09:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * They specify rock drumlins, does that make it better? According to a USGS glossary, a rock drumlin is A hill having the form of a drumlin but consisting of bedrock, sometimes veneered with till. Also known as a "whaleback". ☆ Bri (talk) 00:40, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I acknowledge that the term 'rock drumlin' exists though imho the term is less than ideal in general as it suggests a connection between the features so named and ordinary drumlins whereas their origins are different. These Namibian forms are introduced as simply 'drumlins' in the first reference, though as you note 'rock drumlin' is used in the second. The fault lies within the research paper.
