Please go away. Yes, I have put up posts on these ridges before, and have expressed the view that they might have morainic material incorporated in them. But I have looked at other articles since, and it seems that they are made for the most part of complex truncated layers of sand consistent with tidal stream rearrangements of fine sediments. There may also be ice-dropped materials in there too -- or even areas of real till. Lots of speculation, and a shortage of hard evidence because of the deep water and difficult conditions for sampling. We await more research....

All you need to do is go to Google and put in some keywords. The consensus is that these features are deepwater sand bars influenced above all else by tidal streams. They cover a vast area in the South West approaches.BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-76798868375820887302013-11-12T00:52:42.445+00:002013-11-12T00:52:42.445+00:00Brian,

I remember you posting on just such channels. The Celtic and Armorican Deep Sea Fans further to the south of these seem to support this view. <br /><br />If this is correct than the number, length and geographical span of these sand ridges would suggest a rather large glacial cover of the entire SW areas and not just a <i>'run away lobe'</i>.<br /><br />KostasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-74483656532628664852013-11-12T00:14:22.265+00:002013-11-12T00:14:22.265+00:00Brian,

These may be another piece in the puzzle. Any further developments on these?<br /><br />CuriousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
