  2. Cross-bedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-bedding

    Tabular cross-bedding, or planar bedding consists of cross-bedded units that are extensive horizontally relative to the set thickness and that have essentially planar bounding surfaces. [3] Trough cross-bedding, on the other hand, consists of cross-bedded units in which the bounding surfaces are curved, and hence limited in horizontal extent.

  3. Bed (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    A bedding surface is three-dimensional surface, planar or curved, that visibly separates each successive bed (of the same or different lithology) from the preceding or following bed. Where bedding surfaces occur as cross-sections, e.g., in a 2-dimensional vertical cliff face of horizontal strata, are often referred to as bedding contacts ...

  4. Paleocurrent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocurrent

    Cross-bedding – the axis of a trough cross bed or the down-dip direction of a tabular cross bed point the direction of paleo flow. Current ripple marks – will have the short side of the ripple pointing down stream. Sole markings/flute casts – the short, steep side will point up stream, and the long, tapered side points down stream.

  5. Sedimentary structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentary_structures

    These structures are within sedimentary bedding and can help with the interpretation of depositional environment and paleocurrent directions. They are formed when the sediment is deposited. Cross-bedding Cross-bedding is the layering of beds deposited by wind or water inclined at an angle as much as 35° from the horizontal. [1]

    The most related to the shores, probably barrier-Lagoon and Delta depositional systems are clearly visible on the Smilów Quarry, where the exposure shows different lithofacies and strata, including fine-grained, white and light-grey Sandstones with Hummocky cross-stratification, with a series of tabular and trough Cross-bedding sets, probably ...

  8. Battery Point Formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_Point_Formation

    A part of the Gaspé Sandstones, [2] the Battery Point Formation is believed to have been deposited in a fluvial environment based on the presence of rootlets as well as the abundance of trough and planar-tabular cross bedding, and the lower part resembles modern braided systems more than meandering systems.
