Lord Howe Island has sedimentary deposits of Pleistocene and Holocene (Recent) age, including cross-bedded calcarenite with intercalated soil horizons, lagoonal deposits, a single sand dune, and alluvium. ❋ Unknown (2008)
But even if these forms turn out to be true foraminifers – and Arz et al 2004 have shown that there are a few reworked specimens in that core interval – then those occur in a cross-bedded sandstone and are, therefore, by definition reworked, and cannot be used for biostratigraphy. ❋ Unknown (2006)
They were cross-bedded, eroded and very cool looking. ❋ Unknown (2005)
There was another formation present in places, the famous Navajo formation, which was cross-bedded white sand stone. ❋ Unknown (2005)
I'm pretty sure that they were the same formation, red, cross-bedded, mounds, etc. ❋ Andrew (2005)
Aztec sandstones, and those generally throughout the northern country, are tough and cross-bedded; they lack the natural cleavage of ❋ Unknown (1964)
There were a thousand feet of these sandstone layers, red in all its varying hues, capped by the four-hundred foot cross-bedded sandstone wall, breaking sheer, ranging in tone from a soft buff to a golden yellow, with a bloom, or glow, as though illuminated from within. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
This was not unlike the cross-bedded sandstone in colour, but lacked its warmth and richness of tint. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
They are separated by heavy deposits of well-rounded, cross-bedded gravels and sands, similar to those spread at the present time by the intermittent streams of arid regions. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
In sections of river banks one may often see a vertical succession of cross-bedded strata, each built in the way described. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
Coarse cross-bedded sandstones record the action of strong shifting currents which spread coarse waste near shore and winnowed it of finer stuff. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
Where fine clays are now found on the land in even, horizontal layers containing the remains of fresh-water animals and plants, uncut by channels tilled with cross-bedded gravels and sands and bordered by beach deposits of coarse waste, we may safely infer the existence of ancient lakes. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
These deposits consist of broad, flat-lying sheets of clay and fine sand left by the overflow at time of flood, and traversed here and there by long, narrow strips of coarse, cross-bedded sands and gravels thrown down by the swifter currents of the shifting channels. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
In climbing back, my eye, now sharpened by my geologic reading, dwelt frequently and long upon the horizon where that cross-bedded ❋ John Burroughs (1879)
The summit limestone beds are pale yellow; next below these are the beautiful rose-colored cross-bedded sandstones; next there are a thousand feet of brilliant red sandstones; and below these the red wall limestones, over two thousand feet thick, rich massy red, the greatest and most influential of the series, and forming the main color-fountain. ❋ John Muir (1876)
