Prof. ZEUNER suggests that the sand dunes were formed when at the end of the dry phase (U) a slightly damper phase had followed, which in its turn was succeeded by a drier phase. It was at this phase—sometime in the Late Pleistocene or early Holocene—that "more or less isolated dunes were blown over the land surface." A soil developed on these dunes.
