The north-eastern aeolian ‘European Sand Belt’ as potential record of environmental changes: A case study from Eastern Latvia and Southern Estonia

“…These grains are linked to a periglacial environment (cf. Zieliń ski et al, 2015), and this grain increase is presumed to arise from strong chemical and/or mechanical weathering in situ, since no traces of transportation ('non-worn' outline) can be found (Sokołowski et al, 2014;Woronko and Hoch, 2011). The 'nonworn' outline of quartz grains with their matt and rough surface (NU/M) have been reported by Ritchot and Cailleux (1971) for numerous sedimentary environments, and have been found in particular in some of the aeolian settings (cf.…”

Sandy fan‐like forms in the central‐eastern mazovian lowland (central poland): textural record and chronology

“…3d) indicates variable transport energy, where a low-energy transport alternates with a rapid sediment accumulation (cf. Although a partially rounded outline is indicative of relatively brief aeolian transport and/or short transport distance (Narayana et al 2010;Sokołowski et al 2014), these quartz grains are of 0.5-0.6 roundness on Krumbein's (1941) scale, and thus can be placed close to the well-rounded (RM) category. Coarser and simultaneously poorly sorted horizons are found in the Jaźwie 1 profile (cf.…”

“…A partially rounded morphology with a matt surface is prevalent in quartz grains from the fan-like forms. Although a partially rounded outline is indicative of relatively brief aeolian transport and/or short transport distance (Narayana et al 2010;Sokołowski et al 2014), these quartz grains are of 0.5-0.6 roundness on Krumbein's (1941) scale, and thus can be placed close to the well-rounded (RM) category. Together with a content of wellrounded quartz grains, they suggest a significant duration of aeolian transformation of the sediments in the fan-like forms (Mazzullo 1986;Stanley and Deckker 2002;Goździk 2007;Kalińska and Nartišs 2014;Woronko et al 2015).…”
