...Herbert L. Windom Abstract A review of the existing information on the eolian contribution to marine sediments is given. Studies of dust collected over the World Ocean and the distribution of minerals in marine sediments have produced the majority of the evidence indicating the importance of wind...

...JAMES R. STEIDTMANN Abstract The Casper Formation of Pennsylvanian and Permian age in the southernmost Laramie Basin contains large trough cross-stratification for which both eolian and subaqueous origins have been proposed. To determine which is the most reasonable interpretation of origin...

...JACK DYMOND; PIERRE E. BISCAYE; ROBERT W. REX Abstract Mica- and quartz-bearing soils from the high-rainfall regions of the island of Oahu have been analyzed for their K-Ar and Rb-Sr age parameters to test for an eolian vereus pedogenic origin of the mica. K-Ar and Rb-Sr apparent ages...

...James R. Steidtmann; Harry C. Haywood ABSTRACT Large-scale deformation of laminae in ancient sandstone of supposed eolian origin has perplexed geologists for many years. Other workers have described several types of deformation related to lee-side avalanching, but none at the scale observed in some...

... tubes (2.5 cm O.D. × 5.2 cm) by carefully pushing the tubes into the unconsolidated sediments ( Fig. 1 ). In the profile line and grid patterns, samples were taken at a regular depth of 6 in. below the depositional surface to avoid the effects of eolian reworking. Attempts were made to collect only...

... not leave the source area and is still near its place of origin. The deep and intricate erosion permits excellent three-dimensional views of the sedimentary bodies. Extensive eolian formations occur in the Permian, Triassic, and Jurassic systems. These are mainly interpreted as superposed dune fields...

...Norman D. Newell; Donald W. Boyd Abstract Eolian sands of the Ica desert on the south coast of Peru are composed of coarse, well-rounded fragments of andesitic country rock (and, locally, of fragments of Eocene molluscan shells). The high degree of sorting is attributed to selective winnowing...

...Richard Benjamin Mattox Abstract Field and laboratory data obtained in this investigation indicate that eolian shape-sorting is probably of little quantitative importance in coastal dune areas. The conclusion is reached that where such action does occur, the wind tends to select grains of low...

...-laminated deposit of clean, monotonously uniform quartz sand of middle (?) Jurassic age. It has been considered by many a classic example of eolian deposition since this mode of origin was suggested by H. E. Gregory 2 in 1915. Some more recent investigators 3 , 4 in discussing certain features...
