Sedimentary structures are features in the sediment as it accumulated or after it accumulated.

•Strata are essentially individual layers of rock.
•Each strata has individual characteristics which
distinguish it from the strata above and below.
•Laid down successively over time…the deeper
they are…the older they are…we call this the
“Law of Super Position”
•Strata are always laid down flat or
horizontal…we call this the
“Law of Original Horizontality”

Strata are exposed at “OUTCROPS”
Outcrops form anywhere there is a cut down into the
Earth such as:
-River Erosion (below), Road Cuts, Glacial Erosion, Etc...

One Varve =
One Year’s Deposition
Varves:
Alternating parallel layers having different properties
ranging from coarse at the bottom to fine at the top.
Similar to Graded Bedding BUT Sediments are MUCH
FINER on the whole!
Also specifically caused
by Seasonal Changes in
deposition on Glacial
Lake Bottoms

Graded Bedding -As current velocity decreases, first the larger or more dense
particles are deposited.
This results in bedding
showing a decrease in grain
size from the bottom of the
bed to the top of the bed.
Followed by smaller or less dense particles.
Often these represent one Stream / River Flood Cycle!

Cross Bedding -Sets of beds that are inclined relative to one another.
The beds are inclined in the direction that the wind or water was
moving at the time of deposition.
Boundaries between sets of cross beds usually represent an erosional
surface.
Very common in beach deposits, sand dunes, and river deposited
sediment.

Ripple Marks -Characteristic of shallow water deposition.
Caused by waves or winds.
Common in bodies of
water with a steady
current such as a river
or stream!
How might oscillation/symmetrical ripple marks look?
These are current / asymmetrical ripple marks =
current always in one direction.

This type of small scale cross bedding is commonly associated
with ripple marks…gives us insight into the environment in
which the rock preserving these structures was formed!

Mudcracks -
Result from the drying out & cracking of wet sediment.
-Occur only in FINE grained sediments such as
SILTS or CLAYS ( i.e. Mudstones)
-Mud Cracks CANNOT form in Sand or Gravel sized
sediments!!
-The cracks form due to shrinkage of the sediment as
it dries.

Fossils -
Remains of once living organisms.
Probably the most important indicator of the environment of
deposition:
Different species usually inhabit specific environments.
Because life has evolved - fossils give clues to relative
age of the sediment.
Can also be important indicators of past climates

There are MANY different sedimentary environments
BUT basically THREE General Types:
1- Continental
2- Coastal
3- Marine
These can be broken down
into either…
a. Clastic / Detrital
or
b. Chemical / Biological

Note!!
• These Next lists are GENERAL EXAMPLES Only!
• Sedimentary Environments are complex.• There are a wide ranges of possibilities for any given
environment.
• The net results are from an complex interaction of MANY FACTORS!
• Factors include: Composition of source material, Distance from source, Topography, Energy of Transport Medium, Nature of Depositional Environment, Etc...

Rivers (Fluvial):•Energy - Ranges from: HIGH (Flood or large rivers) to
LOW (Non-Flood Season or Small streams).
•Grain Size - Get smaller as you travel away from source
•Rounding - Increases as you travel away from source or energy
increases.
•Sorting - Increases downstream
•Rock Types - CLASTIC - Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Mudstones.
•Sedimentary Structures - Ripple Marks(Asymmetrical),
Graded-Bedding, Laminations, Stratification,
Mud-Cracks (on shores), Flutes, Rain imprints,
Cross-Bedding, Plant/Animal Structures.

Lakes (Lacustrine):
•Energy - Generally LOW
•Grain Size - Clay/Silt on bottom, Sand/Gravel on shores.
•Rounding - usually more round than rivers, esp.. lake bottom sediments
•Sorting - Intermediate on shores to excellent on bottom.
•Rock Types - CLASTIC - Various Mudstones, Limestone,
CHEMICAL - Evaporites (Halite, Gypsum)
•Sedimentary Structures -Ripple Marks (Symmetrical), Cross-Bedding,
Graded-Bedding, Laminations, Stratification,
Mud-Cracks, Varves, Rain imprints,
Plant/Animal Structures.

Swamp (Paludal):
•Energy - Low
•Grain Size - Varies with location but usually small.
•Rounding - Varies with location but usually well rounded.
•Sorting - Well to intermediate sorting.
•Rock Types - CLASTIC - Mudstones, Sandstone.
BIOLOGICAL - Peat, Coal
•Associated Sedimentary Structures -Will Vary Widely with Nature of
Swamp but may include:
Ripple Marks, Cross-Bedding, Graded-Bedding,
Laminations, Stratification, Mud-Cracks, Flutes, Rain imprints,
Plant/Animal Structures
