This landslide deposit pretty much rules out the idea that the deposits farther upstream are glacial outwash.
這個滑坡沉積物大可以排除遠(yuǎn)離上遊的沉積物是冰川沉積的想法。
Sometimes the animal multitudes are horizontal, as on Salisbury Plain, a glacial outwash delta densely colonized by king penguins, fur and elephant seals, and kelp gulls.

Hmm. At the time our colleague suggested that maybe these were delta deposits or possibly glacial outwash (although we don’t know the extent of past glaciations in the park).
嗯，儅時我們同事建議這些可能是三角洲沉澱或者可能是冰川沉積時（盡琯我們不知道這個公園裡冰期的程度）。

a mass of gravel, sand, etc, carried and deposited by the water derived from melting glaciers
