Klemsdal, T. 1969. A Lista-Stage Moraine on Jæren. Norsk geogr. Tidsskr. 23, 193-199. The terminal moraine of the Lista Stage has been traced to Jæren with the help of marine charts. There, it forms the coastal ridge and Jærens rev (Jæren Reef), which supports a series of raised beaches. It can further be traced out to sea to a depth of 130 m until it is broken through at the mouth of Boknfjord. North of the fjord threshold, begins a new ridge which runs towards Karmöy and passes to the immediate west of the island. It is impossible to trace it further on the charts. Moraine has been identified only above the marine limit. Old borehole samples, however, indicate an inner composition of sand and gravel of doubtful origin. The date of the Lista Stage is thought to be about 14,500 to 14,000 years B. P.
