The paper first describes a process that exhibits a power law-type long memory behaviour: the dynamical behaviour of the heap top of falling granular matter such as sand. Fractional modelling is proposed for this process, and some drawbacks and difficulties associated to fractional models are reviewed and illustrated with the sand pile process. Alternative models that solve the drawbacks and difficulties mentioned while producing power law-type long memory behaviours are presented.
