The features on glacially polished rock are called "striations". They are not really comprable. Some pictures are: 1. Glacial Striations near Gullfoss http://www.casdn.neu.edu/~geology/department/staff/colgan/iceland/geysir/55640_14.htm 2. glacial striations http://earthnet.bio.ns.ca/english/glossary/g/glacialstriations.html 3. Glacial Striations http://maps.unomaha.edu/Maher/geo330/kirk1.html "Striations are usually multiple, straight parallel lines which represent the movement of the sediment loaded base of the glacier over. Striae can range from microscopic size on a seemingly polished rock to obvious markings millimeters deep and nearly a meter in length." 4.
