These deltaic materials have been deposited for 9000 years atop the bedrock at the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong Province, situated along the northern margin of the South China Sea. [ 1 ] This landform, replete with an intricate network of river channels, has been evolving since the Early Holocene era, shaping the contemporary delta ...

Canada The Munising Group or Formation is a 1,700 feet (520 m) thick, white to light grey [ 1 ] Cambrian sedimentary unit that crops out in Michigan and (to a lesser extent) Ontario . At one end of its extent, it comprises a basal conglomerate overlain by the Chapel Rock Member and the Miners Castle Member; elsewhere, it comprises the Eau ...
The environment of deposition for these sediments has changed, varying spatially and temporally. When the ocean level was high shallow marine deposits occurred; when they were low fluvial and deltaic deposits form the majority of mass. [26] From the Triassic until the early Jurassic, faulting localized as extension faulting and wrench faulting.

The Red River is about 885 kilometres (550 mi) long, [2] of which about 635 kilometres (395 mi) are in the United States and about 255 kilometres (158 mi) are in Canada. [3] The river falls 70 metres (230 ft) on its trip to Lake Winnipeg, where it spreads into the vast deltaic wetland known as Netley Marsh.
Dunvegan Sandstone. The Dunvegan Formation is composed of marine, and deltaic sandstone with thin shale interbeds in the Peace River Country. East of Dunvegan, Alberta it is of marine origin, and in its western reaches in British Columbia it was deposited in a continental facies, where the sandstone becomes more conglomeratic.
