Fig. 5.16 Concentration of cm-sized pumice clasts on the surface of
a megaripple, Purulla, Argentina. The interior of the megaripple
consists almost exclusively of medium sand derived from several
ignimbrites exposed in the area; here particles from on the crest
consistently fell onto the exposed trough dug across the ripple crest.
Scale is in cm. Photo J. Zimbelman
Fig. 5.18 Plot demonstrating three distinct scales of aeolian features
showing data from Wilson (1972a). Points represent measurements of
features from around the world—the three sets of points are quite
distinct. Vertical axis is the grain size of the 20th percentile of particles
from the feature
