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: 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: Rooted sandstone. Roots have locally disrupted bedding Depositional Environment Represented: Levee or exposed floodplain Other environments where rock type is typically found: Roots provide evidence for at least periodic emergence.
