The evolution of coastal barrier systems: a case study of the Middle-Late Pleistocene Wilderness barriers, South Africa

The genesis of solution pipes: Evidence from the Middle–Late Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation calcarenite, southeastern Australia

“…The aeolianites of each member were deposited during the sea-level highstands of MIS 11, MIS 9, and MIS 7 respectively, and the dip of the aeolian cross-beds indicates that these periods were accompanied by strong westerly winds, similar in orientation to those today. Pleistocene aeolianites in southwestern Western Australia and South Africa were similarly deposited predominantly at highstands (Hearty and O'Leary, 2008;Bateman et al, 2011;Lipar and Webb, 2014).…”

Palaeoecology of giraffe tracks in Late Pleistocene aeolianites on the Cape south coast

“…13 Numerous subsequent geochronological investigations have been performed in rocks of the Waenhuiskrans Formation through OSL, thermally transferred OSL and amino-acid racemisation dating. 2,[14][15][16] The great majority of these are from MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 6 to MIS 5b, with limited MIS 11 deposits dated at ~400 ka. 17 The dating studies performed at the elephant track sites and palaeosols east of the giraffe site yielded an age range from MIS 6 to MIS 5b (140±8.3 ka to 91±4.6 ka).…”

A preliminary OSL chronology for coastal dunes on Moreton island, Queensland, Australia – Marginal deposits of A large-scale quaternary shelf sediment system

“…1) has the potential to better identify regionally significant phases of deposition (e.g. as determined for the Cape Coast of South Africa by Bateman et al, 2011) and thereby more confidently indicate the major drivers of this type of large-scale, shelf-margin sediment accumulation.…”
