A Fine Air-Heave Structure from the Old Red Sandstone of Lanarkshire, Scotland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
Air-heave structures have previously been described from marine lagoonal deposits, both from present day and ancient sediments. This paper records the find of such structures in playa sediments from the Scottish Old Red—perhaps the first record of such structures from non-marine sediments in the geological column. It is suggested that the structures were formed on the beaches of “Lake Caledonia”, “during a storm, seich, or a heavy rainfall”.
