Parallel to sub-parallel strata possessing original (depositional) dips occur within both
lithologically “homogeneous” and “heterogeneous” units of water-lain, siliciclastic …

These notes are for a course on the use of primary structures and stratification sequence as
tools for interpretation of depositional environments. The emphasis is to provide a concise …

A terminology is suggested to aid the field geologist in describing the structures of stratified
and cross-stratified rock units. Qualitative terms describing the character of rock layering are …

Detailed analysis of fine-grained clastic deposits associated with the macrotidal estuarine
mouth of the Shepody River, New Brunswick, Canada, concentrated on identifying the …

Modem meandering river point bar deposits formed in fluvial and tidally-influenced
environments were investigated to explain why large-scale epsilon cross-stratification (ECS) …

Forced regression refers to the process of seaward migration of a shoreline in direct
response to relative sea-level fall. Recognition criteria for forced regressive deposits …

The recent paper by Dott and Bourgeois (1982) has made an initial attempt to systematize
the sequence of sedimentary structures associated with hummocky cross stratification …

Unconformities have been used commonly as boundaries of stratigraphic units; such
unconformity-bounded units have played an important role in the development of …

Clastic deposits can be subdivided into microforms, mesoforms, and macroforms [using
Jackson's (1975) terminology], reflecting a range of physical scales of deposit and the time …

Hummocky cross-stratification is an important structure formed on the shoreface and shelf by
waves. It characterizes a wave-dominated facies. Attention to its variability can reveal much …
