Lenticular Bedding
Flaser bedding a form of heterolithic bedding characterized by cross laminations draped with silt or clay.
Lenticular bedding. Ripple flaser and lenticular bedding are well known but for describing profiles they are not sufficiently defined and subdivided. Features a single sided full color print on luxurious brushed polyester fabric. 1 cross bedding with flasers.
The classification contains the following main bedding types and intermediary types fig 1. Flaser beds form in environments where flow strengths fluctuate considerably thus permitting the transport of sand in ripples followed by low energy periods when mud can drape the ripples. Lenticular bedding with single lenses has to have more than 75 discontinuous lenses.
Lens thickness is based on a length to height. Flaser wavy and lenticular bedding is a gradational spectrum of heterolithic deposits with alternating beds laminae of sand and mud. Constructed with cozy yet lightweight premium materials that are soft to touch.
Asymmetrical lenticular bedding facies fs occasionally occurs upward within this facies association attributed in enclosed environments to intermittent wave action reineck wunderlich 1968. Lenticular bedding with connected lenses can have up to 75 of discontinuous lenses. Lenticular bedding is a sedimentary bedding pattern displaying alternating layers of mud and sand.
All of our bedding sets are custom made to order and handcrafted to the highest quality standards. Lenticular bedding a form of heterolithic sediment characterized by the presence of isolated sand ripples and lenses set in a mud matrix the ripples may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Areas of continental shelf lying in water depths affected by storm waves or the low energy zones on intertidal flats.
They may also be produced by episodic flooding on the alluvial plains. Lenticular bedding can be subdivided according to whether or not they have connected lenses and the type of lenses they feature. It is therefore the intent of the following text to present such a definition and classification.
Graded bedding in which size decreases from bottom to top is common. 2 flaser bedding subdivided. Formed during periods of slack water mud suspended in the water is deposited on top of small formations of sand once the water s velocity has reached zero.
Regular changes of flaser wavy and lenticular bedding in an upward fining succession. Summary ripple flaser and lenticular bedding are well known but for describing profiles they are not sufficiently defined and subdivided. Comforter bed sheets and pillow inserts are not included.
Such sediments form in low energy muddy environments which suffer episodic higher flows e g. Lenticular bedding is classified by its large quantities of mud relative to sand whereas a flaser bed consists mostly of sand. Because agitated waters rarely subside at once declining transport power causes a gradual upward decrease in maximum clast size.
