Re: fossil eolian dunes
quote:
I have trouble visualizing how preservation and fossilization can occur without mud (water-borne sediments). This makes me suspect the conclusion that the features are aeolian dunes is incorrect for some reason.
​
There are fossils that have been attributed to sandstorms (which would rapidky bury the victims). And a dry desert could naturally mummify dead animals. So I think you need to think a bit harder before ruling out dunes.
