0 a bone forming part of the ankle joint:
a talus fracture
1 large, loose broken stones on the side of a mountain, or an area covered with stones like this:
The settlement is built on the black talus of an active volcano.
This is due to lack of continuous exposures because of natural geomorphological reasons, such as talus and earth accumulations along the lower flanks of outliers.
The sedimentary breccias were probably formed from talus and/or other types of colluvium that were shed from the ring-fracture fault scarp of the caldera.
In modelling the talus we would have to deal directly with the contact ring at the edge of the fluid dome.
On unsteady taluses, isolated patches of vegetation replace tundra.
The talus collection includes several blocks and may therefore represent more than one horizon.
Women may have a couple of synthetic saris, using a blouse and lungi for daily wear, and own no gold jewellery other than the thin chain holding their marriage tali.
No direct fault control over this terrestrial sedimentation was reported, because neither characteristic fault-related facies (thick talus scree breccias, conglomerates) nor fault traces were recorded in the area.
I am almost inclined to say with the poet, non tali auxilio in such cases.
