I agree with Mongo. Here's the definition, hope it helps:
Boulder. A rock fragment, usually rounded by weathering or abrasion, with an average dimension of 12 inches or more: will not pass a 12-inch screen. A rock which is too heavy to be lifted readily by hand. http://www.usbr.gov/cdams/glossary.html#boulder
