Abstract
Some observations of fissure-like casts in deposits of eolian sand are discussed. The very distinct stratification on both sides of the fissures has not been affected by wedging activity or only slightly in some cases. The casts are interpreted as fossil, primary infillings of fissures created by repeated cracking of the ground by frost, i.e. a type of fossil sand-wedges.Keywords
