Geological magazine : Vol 97 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1960Summary: 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”.
