Erratics, whose area of origin can be determined from their internal structure and composition, are called indicator stones. The origin can be determined by information in the literature on glacial drifts, but also determined by comparison with samples from the bedrock. For Rügen there is a

above-ground volumes; the below-ground element is not recorded. The approximation factor of 0.6 is based on experience and accounts for the usual difference in volume from a rectangular block.
