What is Nouvelles Observations Sur Les Sables Alveolaires about?
Abstract The behavior of alveolar sands under foot affords information on their structure. A "sand drawer" designed for taking undisturbed samples, here described in detail, is an aid in making observations of this behavior. The sands are divided into two categories: firm sands, either solid under foot (compact sands) or elastic (containing bubbles below a firm crust 10 cm or more in thickness); and yielding sands, either thixotropic (yielding only when saturated) or lacking in resistance, both wet and dry. Structural characteristics of recent and fossil alveolar sands are discussed, with data on localities where each type may be found. The evolution of alveolar sands is influenced by the presence of the animals inhabiting them. In fossil form they are evidence of the high-tide limit of former seas.
