General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Horizontal-wave bedded sandstone and mudstone. The lenses of sandstone are probably vestiges of ripples

Depositional Environment Represented:

Overbank (splay or floodplain)

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Tidal flats and shallow offshore facies where fluctuating energy conditions are frequent.

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Horizontal-ripple cross-laminated sandstone with mudstone partings. Only lee side of ripples preserved

Depositional Environment Represented:

Overbank deposit (levee or splay).

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Not found in other environments

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Horizontal and ripple cross-laminated sandstone with mudstone partings

Depositional Environment Represented:

Overbank (levee or splay)

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Alternating low (mudstone) and moderate energy (sandstone) such as tidal or subtidal facies or facies characterized by periodic flooding (overbank areas).

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Convolute (soft-sediment structures) and horizontal bedded sandstone. Note the syn-depositional fault near the base

Depositional Environment Represented:

Channel of proximal crevasse-splay

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Any moderate to high energy facies characterized by rapid deposition.

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Horizontal bedded siltstone with mudstone laminae. This rock consists of varves of light coloured siltstone and darker mudstone

Depositional Environment Represented:

Lacustrine. True varves are the result of seasonal climatic changes

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Not found in other environments

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

fragment preserved on bedding plane. Such fragments are common in overbank deposits.

Depositional Environment Represented:

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Not found in other environments

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Massive siltstone. The absence of bedding may be the result of rapid deposition, bioturbation, rooting or rapid de-watering. Alternatively bedding may be present but not visible to the unaided eye

Depositional Environment Represented:

Crevasse-splay, levee or lacustrine.

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Not found in other environments

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Lenticular bedded siltstone and mudstone

Depositional Environment Represented:

Overbank (lake, distal splay, levee)

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Any low energy environment in which there is a periodic influx of coarse sediment (flood or storm events) such as tidal, shallow offshore or lake facies.

General Environmental Setting:

Nonmarine - overbank

Rock Description:

Horizontal bedded mudstone and cross-bedded sandstone. Base of core is composed of rip-up-clasts. This core has been interpreted as the result of a single flood with currents declining from base to the top.

Depositional Environment Represented:

Crevasse-splay

Other environments where rock type is typically found:

Not found in other environments
