Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Solothurn

Der "Schildchrott" ist ein Findling bei der 3. Station auf dem Solothurner Megalithweg.
Zwei erratische Blöcke erinnern zusammen an Panzer, Hals und Kopf einer überdimensionalen Schildkröte. Der kleinere Stein hält den grösseren in Position. Ist die Lage der Steine zufällig beim Abschmelzen des Gletschers entstanden?

The "Schildchrott" is a erratic at the 3rd station on the Solothurn Megalithway.
Two erratic blocks together are reminiscent of the shell, neck and head of an oversized turtle. The smaller stone holds the larger one in place. Did the location of the stones happen coincidentally when the glacier melted?
