Objective
• Determine the age and mechanism of dune emplacement
• Determine whether soil/paleosol mineralogy can constrain age of emplacement

Importance of the paleosols
• Influence stability
• Control groundwater chemistry and flow
• Indicate age

Conclusion
• Gibbsite – forms under highly permeable conditions (change in pH)
– Fills cavities not replacing minerals
• Allophane/imogolite – Replaces woody material
– One phase or two phases
• Indication of high Al mobility• Where does the silica go (kinetics?)
