| Sedimentary structures and bedding patterns provide invaluable information related to current conditions and suitability for past life (e.g., oxygen content of bottom waters and stability of the bottom in terms of storm waves passing through). The sedimentary structures shown below are commonly seen in both clastic and carbonate sediments. |
