Several structural features such as ripple marks, sand dune deposits, rain patches, slump marks, and fossil tracks are not only well preserved within the formation, but also contribute evidence of its eolian origin.

Mud cracks, a few ripple marks, and incipient drainage channels were observed in the topmost bed of the Kayenta on Red Rock Plateau; and in west Glen Canyon, wide sand-filled cracks appear at the horizon.

The location from which the specimen was derived, the Gaulin Dinosaur Tracksite, has been interpreted as a playa, or dry lake environment based on the presence of oscillation ripple marks, abundant mudcracks, and other sedimentary structures.

Remark : in the marine environment parting lineation doesn't have to be associated solely with the upper plane bed regime, it has been reported for instance from the erosive stoss side of ripple marks, megaripples and dunes.

Continuing along the coast, they made more discoveries including sections of the vertical beds showing strong ripple marks which gave Hutton " great satisfaction " as a confirmation of his supposition that these beds had been laid horizontally in water.
46.
A small regressive highstand occurred to have formed this carbonate layer towards the top of the Eagle Ford, which is known due to the high energy traits it displays such as ripple marks from storm generated waves and interbedded carbonaceous siltstones.

The Camas Prairie Basin, one of the " grey " areas, apparently has many flood deposits of sand and gravel, along with " giant ripple marks " caused by the floods . talk ) 00 : 19, 31 August 2011 ( UTC)

Every single diagnostic sign of the giant ripples given in the corresponding section contradict this theory, especially the cross-layered texture of the sediments in the ripple marks which correlates with their morphology and the regular asymmetry of their slopes at all the locations.

In addition, G . G . Rusanov found malachite, axinite, sillimanite and cinnabar in the schlichs of the ripple marks in Kuray Basin, which are characteristic of the Kuray Ridge but not found in the schlichs of the end moraines of the Tetio River, the latter adjoining the fields of the giant ripples.

:: : Heh, well I find the notion of ice sheets over a mile thick crushing the land and forming large lakes and ice dams, which repeatedly burst and create enormous catastrophic floods that carve deep canyons and leave gigantic ripple marks fairly impressive . talk ) 03 : 37, 23 September 2012 ( UTC)
