what are your beliefs on the origin of Loess?
I'm quite sure that Bill B. can answer this question but I wanted to jump in as I enjoy the subject of Glacial Deposits and the Ice age. One of my favorite Professors happened to be a Geoarcheologist who would give lectures that dealt with the Ice Age and climate. Loess is windblown silt which had been deposited by Glacier runoff. In fact the area I live in has a large amount of Loess deposits from the last Ice age.
