I have to apologise for the five dots in the middle – these are raindrops. It was actually pouring when I took this photo but I was fascinated by this boulder. The plaque says it’s a calcium conglomerate or a lime pudding stone or possibly a gompholite, part of the sweet water molasse (a geological formation) in Switzerland. It is 30 mio years old and although I saw it in Uster near Zurich, it was originally found 60km to the east, in Toggenburg. Why it dashed all that distance I wouldn’t know.

That’s quite a boulder. And I wonder who first coined the term Pudding Stone? It always makes me laugh.

I’m currently learning Italian and the dictionary for English/German I normally use online was switched to Italian/German. And in Italian it’s called “la puddinga”. Che sorpresa!

Now I have found your Swiss rock. We might be a small country, but we have big rocks, No-one noticed them for 30 million years, so I suppose they grew a bit in the meanwhile.
