nant direction have much lower velocities thanthose from the secondary direction - which are notnecessarily frequent but strong. Longitudinal dunesappear to originate most often from barchalJs, butthe possibility that thcy develop from parabolic ortransversal dunes cannot be excluded. The occurrence of various obstructions, mainly vegetation,and small supply of eolian sand are also importantfor thcir development.
Complcx studies of eolian forms in the western part of the Lublin Upland have revealed animportant structural differentiation of the distinctive longitudinal duncs and an attempt was madeto explain this phenomenon. The aim of this paperis to determinc the origin of longitudinal dunes,i.e. to show the dependence of dune· formingprocesses on cnvironmental conditions, and toclassify the longitudinal forms.
Key "'f}rd.~: longiludinal dunes, dale Ple;stocene. the lub\in Upland
Abstrtu-t: The development of longitudinal dunes depends on three overlapping factors: the strengtb anddireClion of winds, the amount of supplied sand. and the occurrence of vegetation which can fix therising forms. Il is assumed that 10ngilUdinal dunes in Polish territory were mainly formed from (he armsof parabolic dunes. as a resuh of the deflation of the central pans of these duncs. However, it is possiblelhat some longitudinal dunes in Poland could also have developed as primary fonos.The detailed studies of longitudinal dunes in the wcstern part of the lublin Upland have revealed animpOrtanl slruetural differenliation resulting from various development conditions of each particularform. Three models of developmenl of longitudinal dunes arc derived from these investigations:
t) They are formed by undireetiQnal winds deflaling the central parts of parabolic dunes, when sandsupply is small, and vegelalion fixes the rising forms.
2) They develop after a changc of wind dircctiOn by 90·, in consequcnce of transformation ofa single lransversal dune or a sct of parabolic dunes formed in fronl of or on an obstruction.
3) Thcy arc primary forms originating RI obslrucl;ons. when eolian malerial is transported by bidireelional winds from a narrow (up to 90·) sector.
In many papers dealing with the formationconditions of inland dunes in Poland, the origin oflongitudinal duncs has never been the principalconcern. Thcy have mainly been considered to becreated by the deflation of the central parts ofparabolic dunes (Galon, 1958; Wojtanowicz,1969). 11 was also suggested that longitudinaldunes wcre primary foons which could developinto parabolic dunes (Dylikowa, 1969). Observations of longitudinal dunes being formed at present(Hack. 1941; Bagnold, 1954; McKee & Tibbits,1964; Verstappen & Delft, 1968; Brookfield, 1970;Fryberger, 1979; Lancaster, 1980; Tsoar, 1983,1984) reveal that shifting, bi-directional windsfrom a sector of < 130" are the main factor stimulating thcir developmcnt; winds from the domi-

Sands withthe trough structure typical of a distal slope areprescnt in its lower pan, and they are overlain bysands with the tabular structure typical of trans·pon of material across a slope. These beds wereprobably the front of a small dune sensu Hunter(1977), on which sand accumulated as a result ofthe drift associated with the approach of thesecond dune. The next bed, which is separatedfrom the earlier· formed structure by an erosionsurface, displays tabular structure and structuraldirection components which provide evidence ofthe encroachment of western ann of the second

The structure of longitudinal dunes is described at the most typical sites: Glusko Duze I.Glusko Duze 11, Solec, Kolonia Elzbieta, GoryOpolskie, Zgoda.
Glusko Duze I. This W·SE-trending duneis situated on the denuded morainic plateau whichconsists of tills ovcrlain by discontinuous nuvioglacial or c1uvial sands with gravels (Fig. 2).This form consists of onc sandy series which i~
structurally differentiated, i.e. sandflow conestructure occurs on the SW slope, and tabularstructure on the NE slope (Fig. 28).
Sands with sandflow cone structure are typical of a distal slope in a dune frontal zone, wheresediment is mobilised only by gravity. However.sands with tabular structure are typical of a slopeon which material moves not only due to gravit)but also across the slope as a result of its exposure to wind (Borowka, 1979, 1980). It is assumed that such conditions can also occur on theanns of parabolic dunes or on the slopes of longitudinal dunes (Stankowski, 1963). It is inferred.therefore, that the structural features of the deposits are probably an effcct of thc migration of aparabolic dune from the Nord-West to the SouthEast, and the form described is essentially adeflation remnant which was probably formedfrom the eastern arm of tbis dune (Fig. 2e).
Glusko Duze n. This WSW·ENE dune IS
situated in the contact zone of the denudedmorainic plateau and the sandy higher river lerrace (Fig. 3). The dune is composed of threesandy series which arc separated by soils or erosion surfaces (Fig. 38): I) a lower series withhigh-anglc cross-stratification, with differentstructures according to its situation in the longitudinal section of the dune: sandflow cones.tTOugh or tabular structures; 2) a middle serieswith horizontal or low-angle cross-stratification:3) an uppcr scries, restricted only to the crest panof the dune, with horizontal stratification (in thedune top) or tabular structure (in the upper partsof dune slopes), and with sandflow cone structure(in the eastcrn part of the dune).
The lower sandy series, which accumulatedduring the first stagc of dune development, hasstructures typical of a distal slopc - sandflowcone structure and trough structure, and tabularstructure which is a typical of dune arms (Borawka, 1979, 1980). These features suggest that thisdune originated during a migration of two parabolic dunes when their arms joincd in the finalstage of their development (Fig. 3C). The western dune probably fonned fi.rst. Such an interpre-

Geomorphological fealuresof longitudinal dunes
Longitudinal dunes in the western pan of theLublin Upland arc usually symmetrical ridges to500 111 long and up to 6 m high, which run eitherrectilinearly or irregularly and onen have peaksand saddles. They occur mostly as single formsor sets of ridges in the peripheries of dune areas,near the scarps of river terraces and loess patches, and in the border parts of interfluve planationsurfaces. They arc also found in the central pansof dune areas where they form two parallel orsub·parallel scts of ridges. The forms of W·SEand W·E orientations predominate, whereas those

Field work was conducted in sections perpendicular to the long axes of the studied forms. Theresearch methods comprised macroscopic analysis of grain size, registration of sedimentary structures according to the classifications published byHunter (1977), Borowka (1979, 1980), Gozdzik(1998) and Izmailow (1998), and measurementsof structural direction components. On the basisof the data set an attempt is made to reconstructthe development stages of the panicular forms.

on the denudation pediment whichconsists of tills in places. The structureof both dunes is similar (Fig. 58).They consist of one structurally differentiated series; the internal slopes ofthe dune complex arc composed of thesands with sandflow cone structure,and external slopes - of tabular sands.
These features and the structuralsymmetry of these fonns suggest thattheir origin was associated with thedevelopment of a single parabolic dune(Fig. 5C). Therefore, they provide ev·idence of the migration of the parabolic dune front in a SE direction, withconstant north-western dune· formingwinds, and they were probably fonnedfrom the anns of this dune. Such a situation may occur when vegetationencroaches on the lower dune parts,i.e. its anns (Hack, 1941; Galon, 1958;Vcrstappen & Del ft, 1968: Wojtanowicz, 1969).

The structure of the windward part of the dune(sands with low-angle cross·stratification andtabular structure) is very similar to that of theparabolic dune arm (Rotnicki, 1970), while structures in the lee part reflect the migration of theparabolic dune front in the SE direction (Fig. 4C).Thus, this form must be a remnant of the easternann of a dune which was originally a stationaryform as can be concluded from the low-anglecross-stratification in the proximal part of thedune (Stankowski, 1963; Rotnicki, 1970; Nowaczyk, 1976).

structural features of the uppcr scries, i.e. horizontal lamination and even cross· lamination,indicate that its deposition resulted from themovement of ripples and megaripples (Hunter,1977; Pye & Tsoar, 1990; Goidzik, 1998), and itsdirection components provide evidence of WSWwind.

strong winds which remove the central parts ofparabolic dunes, especially when sand supplyis small, and vegetation fixes the rising fonns,i.e. in the manner proposed by Hack (1941),Galon (1958), Vcrstappcn & Dclft (1968), andWojtanowicz (1969). The common conversionof only one parabolic dune ann into a longitudinal dune may be explained by the deflationof the second arm after a change of wind direction.In the second model (Fig. 8, 11), the longitudinal dunes develop after a change of wind direction through 90°. They represent conversionsfrom a single parabolic or transversal dune, ora set of parabolic dunes earlier-formed usuallyagainst or on top of an obstruction. This model is somewhat similar to that proposed byTsoar (1984) though there are significant differences: the change of wind direction occurs

the possibility of its formationby transformation of a parabolic dune. Therefore, it is probable that this form was origi+nally formed as a longitudinaldune.
Discussion andconclusions
I. In respect of onglO,longitudinal dunes can be divided into primary formswhich developed initially aslongitudinal forms, and secondary forms which representconversions from other dunetypes.
2. In respect of formationtime, longitudinal dunes can bedivided into simple typeswhich were formed during onephase, and complex oneswhich were fonned during re·petitive dune-forming phases.
3. The development of longitudinal dunes is closely dependent on the co-operation ofthree factors (Hack, 1941).However, later studies indicatethat these forms can also originate when sand supply is greatand, most importantly, thewinds are bi-directional within a narrow sector (Bagnold,1954; Brookfiled, 1970; Fryberger, 1979; Lancaster, 1980; Tsoar, 1983,1984). To summarize, the formation of longitu.dinal dunes depends on:• the regime of dune-forming winds, i.e. their
velocity and direction changes;• relief and other features of land surface. i.e. the
presence of obstructions, wet ground, and theobstacles which influence wind direction, andthe direction of sediment deposition;the amount and availability of sand in alimen.tation areas or occurrence of non-longitudinaldunes which can be transformed into longitu+dinal types.
4. On the basis of the data presented in tbisstudy three development models of longitudinaldunes in the western pan of the Lublin Upland(Fig. 8) may be assumed:
In the first model (Fig. 8, I), the longitudinaldunes are formed by unidirectional, rather

by the sandy-silty cover which occurs on the loessdeluvia. These deposits are transected by fossil,trough-like, small valleys. This dune consists oftwo series (Fig. 7B): a lower series with sandflowcone structure, and an upper with tabular structure on the slopes and with cross·wedge stratification in the crest zone.
The lower series may reflect the movement ofa small parabolic dune (Fig. 7e). Its structuraldirection components suggest that the dune-forming west-north-westerlies were. The accumulationof this series could have left a row of deflationremnants which conditioned the development ofthe second series bearing the tabular structure onits slopes and cross-wedge stratification in thecrest zone, i.e. typical of longitudinal dunesoccurring in desert and semi-desert regions (Bagnold, 1954; McKee & Tibitts, 1964; Tsoar, 1982).These features and the structural direction components suggest that this dune was formed bytwo-directional shifting winds blowing from theWSW- \V sector. The erosional contact betweenthe two series building this form seems to exclude

underlain by weathered Cretaceous rocks which are covered bya thin series of sandy and sandysilly rhythmites (Fig. 68). Thedune consists of two sand series,separated by an erosion surface;the lower series has a sandflowcone structure, and upper onc tabular structure.
The structure of the sandflowcones which occur in the lowerseries is typical of a distal slope,
""and gives evidence of a migratingdune front. Owing to the small
number of exposures, it is difficult l:'..1=::~~~~~~~~~~~!to find if this represents front of [J.a parabolic dune or of a transver- :sal onc. However, on the basis of :structural direction components, it :is concluded that these deposits : 0
o "\10-:were deposited in a SE direction. 'If it was a transversal dune, this Cdirection would evidence of NW "...--;,.---"a'--,~'--,dune-fonning winds. The detennination oftbe wind dircction wouldbe more complicated if the lowerseries displayed a parabolic dunedevelopment. However, Kozarski(1962) considered that dip of bedsin tbe highest (frontal) part ofdistal slope of a parabolic dunefollows wind direction. Accordingly, if it is recognized that thestructures building the lower series (i.e. structuresof sandflow cones) occur only in the front part ofa parabolic dune (as was indirectly suggested byBor6wka, 1979, 1980), the orientation of thesestructures may also be indicative of a NW windflow during the construction of this series(Fig. 6C).
The tabular structure representing the younger series was found on both slopes of the longitudinal dune. This seems to indicate a shift ofdune-forming winds from the NW to the WSW.The erosion surface which separates the twoseries provides evidence of deflation processeswhich preceded accumulation of the longitudinaldune. Therefore, as a result of a wind shift, thisdune was formed by the conversion of a transversal dune or a set of parabolic dunes. Of thesealternatives, the second is supported by themorphological features, i.e. the irregular patternof its crest, which resembles parts of parabolicdunes in some sections.

a) dunes of complex structure (Fig. 9, I) originale through the addition of successive parabolic forms, when the wind direction is stable;
b) longitudinal dunes are primary fonns (Fig.9, 11), and material is deposited in the mannerdescribed by Bagnold (1954, p. 193). In that case,the direction of dune-fonning winds and the modeof sediment accumulation was controlled by landconfigurations.
However, these models have yet to be testedfully and further, more detailed investigations aredesirable.

only once, the longitudinal dune originates inthe place of a previous form, and a smaller vol·umc of sand is added on the lee flank, in thewindflow direction.
• In the third model (Fig. 8, 111), the longitudinal dunes are primary forms originating on obstructions, when eolian material is transported
