Figure 3-5. Left-to-right: A. Upward coarsening succession of tidal bedding. B. Close-up of Figure 3-5A, illustrating bioturbated sandstone alternating with finer grained zones within which numerous alternating tractive flow and slack conditions are recorded (i.e., daily tidal flux). C. Close up of finer grained zone in Figure 3-5A, illustrating daily scale of tidal flux. Alternating tractive flow and slack conditions resulted in mm-scale mud drapes in between ripple foresets and subhorizontal sand laminations. The yellow line indicates a spring-to-neap sequence.
