  In general, facies are the set of all characteristics of a sedimetary rock that
  indicates its particular environment of deposition and which distinguish it
  from other facies in the same rock. Glacial facies refer to the characteristic
  nature of glacial ice and/or the processes by which the ice formed and
  processes by which rock debris from the bed is entrained into the ice.
