We present a spectral analysis of a sample of red-sequence galaxies identified by van Dokkum (2005) as dry merger remnants and ongoing dry mergers. Kinematics, stellar population absorption features, and ionisation from emission lines, are derived. We find that approximately half of the sample showing strong tidal features have younger stellar populations than a control sample at a given veloci...
