This is
the second gallery of sedimentary structures of deepwater systems
and includes outcrops of the Devonian and Mississippian of the
Appalachians and the Upper Carboniferous of the Shannon Basin
in Co Clare in Ireland.
The focus of this portion of the gallery is on graded beds and illustrates these with a number the fining upward Bouma sequences common to many turbidite terrains. In a seperate section below this images of condensed sequences, slumping and hummocky cross beds.
Unless otherwise stated many of the photographs below are from Christopher Kendall and Peter Haughton. A number of the images have been grabbed from the web, placed there by generous geologists and utilized with acknowledgement to them where data is available on the photographer. If we missed acknowledgement to you or you have something better you would prefer placed here, please let us know.
