A fabric analysis of the ground moraine deposits of the lleyn Peninsula of Southwest Caernarvonshire
Abstract An analysis of the preferred orientation of the long axes of erratics contained within the superficial deposits of the Lleyn Peninsula indicates that during the two recorded glacial advances the area was invaded by ice from two source regions—the Irish Sea ice‐sheet and local Welsh ice‐bodi...
