An understanding of sediment resuspension and its threshold for initial movement in shallow marine environments is of great importance in coastal geomorphology ecology and harbor fishery management applications.

Tidally laminated sediments. However structures from several millimetres to many centimetres. In geology lamination is a small scale sequence of fine layers laminae. Biogenic assemblage hydrodynamics carbonate sediments reef platforms zanzibar channel flood currents ebb currents abstract the biogenic assemblage and hydrodynamic settings of the tidally dominated reef platform sediments tdrps east of the zanzibar channel were investigated in order to characterise the carbonate sediments. Tidal rhythmites as defined by kvale and mastalerz 1998 include.

At the northern site u1464 the sediments consist of shallow marine and possibly subaerial deposits including tidally laminated sediments and evaporitic nodules suggesting arid conditions. Subglacial deformation of pre existing sediments may also produce laminated deposits in the form of glacitectonite and deformation till. Sedimentary structures consisting of 1 stacked sets of clay draped ripples that as cosets can be classified as lenticular wavy and flaser bedding. Lamina that occurs in sedimentary rocks laminae are normally smaller and less pronounced than bedding lamination is often regarded as planar structures one centimetre or less in thickness whereas bedding layers are greater than one centimetre.

Several centuries after this initial inundation there was a rapid increase in water depth and tidal energy probably associated with historically documented flooding in the 13th century ad which resulted in the deposition of c. Tidally modulated shorefaces tms are wave dominated but differ from conventional shorefaces in that sediments deposited in water depths equivalent to the upper middle and lower shoreface. Or 2 flat laminated siltstone and argillaceous siltstone with thin intercalated claystone layers wherein the tidal origin of these rhythmites is indicated by the progressive thickening and thinning of individually accreted sets or bundles in response to changing current. In general the glen eyrie tidalite is similar to other carboniferous tidalites because the laminated sequence directly overlies a coal is well laminated directly above the coal and becomes more bioturbated and possesses more fine scale erosional features beginning several meters above the coal.
