"Likewise, on the basis of stratigraphic relations and OSL ages, the

Carolina Bays are interpreted as relict features that did not form

during one event of limited duration. Instead, they are thought to

have formed episodically during the same time interval as other

eolian sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain (e.g., mostly during

the LGM when conditions were colder, drier, and windier)."
