Fascinating! Thank you Selchie. The boulders are quite something and a lot of them are almost perfectly rounded. Is this the only place in the world where they are found?

It's the only place of which I know that the boulders are so large, but the process isn't that bizarre. I'm more familiar with concretions up to the size of one's head. The following website calls them "almost unique".
