Hi Jon,
It is a pleasure to be able to electronically converse with someone of your status and distinction.
In regards to reply #63:
Thank you for clarifying, While I am a professional geologist in several states, aeolian geology is definatly not one of my strong points. I may not be able to distinguish between a field of silt mounds deposited by the wind and a field of silt dunes deposited by the wind.
However, I would still call a mound of silt deposited by the wind "dune-like" as I did in Reply 56:
"Silt does not have to be aggregated to sand sized particles in order to form/be incorporated into dune-like structures by the wind."
Best regards,
Robert
