The periglacial origin of the drifts at Morfa‐Bychan, near Aberystwyth
Abstract The superficial deposits at Morfa‐bychan have previously been interpreted as deposited by Welsh ice. A reconsideration, including: stone orientation analysis, suggests however that they consist of screes and solifluction deposits with subordinate rain‐wash gravels, and a thin loess—the whol...
