The sediments of the Green Phase are often poorly preserved.
Dynamics The development of Grey Phase 2 was similar to that of the earlier lakes. It began with the formation of soils fed by rising groundwater with occasional washes of fmer material into the basin. Increasing rainfall brought in both coarser and fmer materials from surrounding dunes and other aeolian deposits. There were at least five episodes of desiccation in the Central Basin. During the higher stands of the lake, the basins were connected and formed a single body of water. 1B. Bir Tarfawi, Section BT-A, Pool, Tr.
A sample of the basal, gravelly sands gave a TL age of 165 ± 22 ka (GdTL-I68) (Ch. 13, this volume); this date seems too late, while the uranium-series dates for this lake of >350 ka and 600 ka (Ch. 11, this volume) seem too old. CORRELATION OF LAKES IN SECTIONS BT-A AND BT-B OF BIR TARFAWI The lake sequences in Sections BT-A and BT-B are not the same. The various age estimates are of little help in correlating them, except perhaps for the racemization and some of the TL dates (Ch. 38, this volume); most of the latter come from Section BT-A (Ch.
