The sedimentology of the succession indicates that these units represent bar top and marginal deposits in a braidedfluvialsetting.From theCambridge English Corpus
These layers are usually intercalated in medium-grained sandstones with cross-sets that indicate deposition influvialenvironment.From theCambridge English Corpus
Granulometry of the conglomeratic layers appears to indicate that coastal gravel beds were subsequently reworked byfluvialactivities.From theCambridge English Corpus
In all three basins, this mudstone-dominated interval passes into sandstonedominated sediments of a braidedfluvialsystem.From theCambridge English Corpus
The bulk of the formation consists offluvialsand deposits, apparently deposited by braided river flow.From theCambridge English Corpus
The breccias were deposited withinfluvialchannels and by unconfined sheetfloods.From theCambridge English Corpus
Whilst the studies are worldwide, the authorship reflects the concentration of research influvialsedimentology in a relatively small number of countries.From theCambridge English Corpus
The middle unit includes alluvial to lacustrine facies while the upper unit consists offluvial-alluvial deposits.From theCambridge English Corpus
Conditions of climate and vegetation cover on land were significantly different from modern conditions and so comparison with modern low-sinuosityfluvialsystems is non-actualistic.From theCambridge English Corpus
Glacial drift, both as till andfluvialdeposits, is a major contributor to a variety of both micro- and macro-landforms.From theCambridge English Corpus
Simulating the development of martian highland landscapes through the interaction of impact cratering,fluvialerosion, and variable hydrologic forcing.From theCambridge English Corpus
The sediments of exposure 16 were deposited in afluvialenvironment.From theCambridge English Corpus
The sandy channels are indicative of afluvialinfluence; the association with redox features like iron nodules and concretions attest to periodical subaerial exposure.From theCambridge English Corpus
Architectural-element analysis: a new method of facies analysis applied tofluvialdeposits.From theCambridge English Corpus
