1 Sedimentary Structures

2 Asymmetrical Ripples and Small Scale Cross Stratification
Animation

3 Large Scale Cross Stratification

4 Graded Bedding Rapid deposition of suspended sediment
Commonly associated with turbidity currents Occurs in may depositional environments

5 Halite and Gypsum Crystal Molds, Casts and Pseudomorphs
Evaporation concentrates brine. Evaporite minerals precipitate and displace surrounding sediment. Later, evaporites dissolve or are replaced by less soluble minerals.

6 Symmetrical Ripples

7 Oriented Fossils Elongate fossils are aligned by currents post mortem.

8 Tool Marks vs. Striations

9 Root Casts

10 Concretions
