Sedimentary structures
Sedimentary Structures, and the remainder of what you need to study for the upcoming quiz....

What are the sizes associated with the various clastic rock sediments?

Sketch or draw as many of the structures you can find on the web sites linked below.

In particular, pay attention to the following:
Stromatolite
Flame structure
Load casts
Ripple Marks
Mud cracks
Graded bedding
Cross bedding
Stylolites
Bioturbation

MAKE SURE YOU GET TO SEE THE IMAGES FOR THE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO IDENTIFY SOME IMAGES ON YOUR NEXT QUIZ!!!!
