The hydrodynamic mechanisms responsible for the genesis and facies variability of shallow‐
marine sandstone storm deposits (tempestites) have been intensely debated, with particular …

A model is developed to explain the wide range of sedimentary structures found in ancient
storm-deposited beds. The model predicts the nature and association of internal …

SEILACHER Abstract: Sedimentological and biological features allow to distinguish …

Analog laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate subaqueous bed forms
generated under storm-like oscillatory and combined flow. Experiments were carried out in a …

Many shallow marine sandstones are characterized by gently dipping trough cross-
stratification. There appear to be significant similarities between this low-angle cross …

A series of wave-tunnel experiments was conducted to investigate the conditions under
which hummocky and swaley cross-stratification form. Isotropic 3-dimensional (3-D) …

The dominance of isotropic hummocky cross‐stratification, recording deposition solely by
oscillatory flows, in many ancient storm‐dominated shoreface–shelf successions is …

Hummocky cross-stratification is believed to be one of the diagnostic sedimentary structures
of storm-dominated shallow-marine environments. The wavelength of this stratification …

Member 2 of the late Precambrian to Lower Cambrian Chapel Island Formation of southeast
Newfoundland was primarily deposited in storm-influenced, nearshore and shelf …

Although normal isotropic hummocky cross‐stratification is commonly interpreted to be the
deposit of large‐scale ripples, there are many reasons why this may not usually be the case …
