- W4328137146 abstract "First scientifically documented by the British explorer and soldier Ralph Alger Bagnold, the Selima Sand Sheet is an extensive low-relief area located within the modern hyperarid core of the Eastern Sahara. Field survey and trenching reveal a surface mantle of near ‘pinstripe” laminated aeolian sands that comprise active chevron (or zibar) bedforms, which are apparent on satellite datasets. These active sands cover Quaternary paleosols with morphostratigraphic characteristics that reflect differing degrees of soil development over time as a function of in situ weathering of quartz parent materials, addition of silts and clays via illuviation and eluviation processes, the precipitation of carbonates, rubification, and bioturbation by plants and insects. A relative chronostratigraphy is inferred from the associated archaeological (Neolithic) and historical materials (Late Historic to World War II), and absolute ages for these deposits are provided by optical dates using single aliquot regeneration techniques (SAR). Constraining the timing of aeolian sedimentation provides a basis for reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes and pedogenesis over Late Quaternary timescales in this region of northeast Africa. Accretion of the sand sheet was episodic and occurred during time periods of enhanced aeolian activity at ∼20–14 and ∼5–3 ka years ago. Late Pleistocene deposition of the sand sheet was out-of-phase with the widely recognized period of rainwater-fed “pluvial” playa lake formation and wadi river drainage alluviation documented in the Sahara, which resulted from enhanced monsoonal rains associated with the orbitally-forced precessional insolation maximum in the Northern Hemisphere. Enhanced bioturbation processes associated with wet phases during the Holocene have completely obliterated most primary sedimentary structures in the Pleistocene-aged sand sheet, resulting in the development of a cohesive, coarse sand and granule-dominated deposit exhibiting incipient prismatic soil structural development. The younger sand sheets dating to the Late Holocene (∼4–3 ka years ago) preserve primary sedimentary structures (e.g. planar laminations), and increasing amounts of cohesion and structure with age. Reconstructing the maximum estimated accumulation rates, and assuming approximately uniform rates of sedimentation across the Selima Sand Sheet area, sediment storage within the sand sheet may be on the order of ∼7 km3/1000 years during the time period that has elapsed since the mid-Holocene onset of arid conditions." @default.
