"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)."
