From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A Boulder is a large rock, greater than 256mm (10") in diameter. While a boulder may be small enough to move or roll manually, others are extremely massive. Some famous rock formations involve giant boulders exposed by erosion, for example the Devil's Marbles.
