2. Ripple marks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_marks

   Very small cross-lamination means that the ripple height is roughly one centimeter. It is lenticular, wavy and flaser lamination. Small Small cross-bedding are ripples set at a height less than ten centimeters, while the thickness is only a few millimeters. Some ripples that may fit this category are wind ripples, wave ripples, and current ripples.

3. Sedimentary structures - Wikipedia

   Asymmetrical ripple marks These are created by a one way current, for example in a river, or the wind in a desert. This creates ripple marks with still pointed crests and rounded troughs, but which are inclined more strongly in the direction of the current. For this reason, they can be used as palaeocurrent indicators.

4. Cross-bedding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-bedding

   Where the set height is less than 6 centimeters and the cross-stratification layers are only a few millimeters thick, the term cross-lamination is used, rather than cross-bedding. Cross-bed sets occur typically in granular sediments, especially sandstone , and indicate that sediments were deposited as ripples or dunes, which advanced due to a ...

5. Lamination (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamination_(geology)

   In geology, lamination (from Latin lāmina 'thin layer') is a small-scale sequence of fine layers (pl.: laminae; sg.: lamina) that occurs in sedimentary rocks. Laminae are normally smaller and less pronounced than bedding .

6. Giant current ripples - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_current_ripples

   Giant current ripples usually exhibit antidune breaking wave and dune ripple shapes, resulting from their high energy environments. Giant current ripples can reach a maximum height of 20 metres (66 ft) and reach a maximum length of 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). they occur in ripple fields that can cover an area several kilometers across.
