00:00 Okay. Okay. Uh let's look the sedimentary structures that are the result

00:07 these migrating bid forms and to do . One of the things we need

00:13 think about is something we actually mentioned . That is the distinction between beds

00:23 and strategies. For example, somebody cross bedding and I said cross

00:28 Uh you said cross laminated doesn't make difference and it does strata is just

00:34 the most general term of layered rocks different scales. Bedding is a type

00:40 strategy that's a centimeter thick examination is centimeter or less mm. And so

00:49 we talk about Cross betting, we're that those individual four sets are more

00:54 70 thick. Typically they're not. so usually what we describe as crossfit

01:01 Samson's cross lemony. You want to conservatives just across strategy. Okay.

01:09 Betty and lamination are in fact And that stratification, no matter what

01:15 uh could be due to a variety different reasons. It could be a

01:21 . The compositional change size, like lamb enough packing orientation ship center.

01:30 there's a lot of details that go looking at individual patient. We actually

01:34 a whole terminology that actually defines what name a very thick beds. Um

01:40 very thin bed. Uh you don't to know this but you need to

01:45 where it is in order to use terms if you're describing rocks in

01:51 Okay, okay, so how we these machinations? Well rainfall deposition from

02:00 is clearly one of the main ways flow avalanche in downslope is a second

02:08 translation. We've actually kind of alluded that earlier in this particular case.

02:14 looking to say wind ripple because this originally a slot for the aeolian trepidation

02:20 holds for So make me as Any ripple migration can lead what's called

02:28 . And um saw suitor lamination, an attraction car. Talk more about

02:38 basically it's a type of plane Now I use Gillian because it's easier

02:44 see the different products of these Um but these processes occur on let's

02:52 a four set of a doomed uh they take me as soon as well

02:57 superior. So here we have the blanket of rain falls eventually over steven's

03:07 as a grain form. Think of great form of these little avalanche

03:13 wow, as the wind ripples across then it leaves behind examination translate

03:22 Uh That's a very tracks well, is that important? Well, it

03:29 out physical properties. Uh the lamination different. And we talked about packing

03:36 example, is one of the ways defining nomination. If you were to

03:41 at permeability. Uh That's just used wind ripped will translate to the screen

03:49 . Mrs Henry permanent. The only huh How difficult and finally available.

03:59 it literally we are potentially interested in permeability differences between one lamination and not

04:11 , usually we think about packages but of one type of lamination and one

04:17 of mixture. Okay now mm most what I'll talk about what are servants

04:28 are possible for set? That's the side of transfer city. It's avalanches

04:34 departed. Yeah I'm going to focus there but I'm going to also begin

04:42 introduce two terms set. The costa a set is basically genetically related examinations

04:52 strength. The Cosette is a bunch And so we'll see that we can

05:00 and describe sediments. Beginning with literally individual force. It's we're going to

05:07 them and then package we're going to increasingly large packages and tell eventually we

05:13 to the whole channel or the forward Bar. Okay so if we look

05:19 the four sets again we're looking at remember the top maybe uh the right

05:29 seven. Now I am gonna well know what happens to the water water

05:37 as it divergence. It turns out out right, delegates was called

05:47 It's about seven times. And there's kind of awake are wrong here.

05:56 hasn't comes down there's a reverse flow we get some of the water this

06:03 side close side. Next trip. now brother we can and then we

06:09 this number. So we have to that with this first. So we

06:16 to think about our flow lines. the first story. Wait.

06:25 Mhm. How steve does it have be before it gets to avail.

06:32 if you've got longer even though they're strain, they're not going to

06:40 So here we've got a downstream That would be that the point.

06:47 if the dude is big enough for hide up, you can actually get

06:52 so long ago to transport sent back . So these are going to come

06:58 for so they can actually accumulate at base this program downstream migration do.

07:07 , it turns out there's a lot information it's available in that strata graphic

07:14 . Well, they pro grading particularly it do. And one of the

07:19 has to do with shaping force that . Uh They can be and he

07:26 again, it is anger, you be gentle floor heating up case and

07:36 transition can occur both with respect to increase in velocity and an increase in

07:45 that increase uh putting sustainable. And not surprised that they are relevant because

07:53 velocity shear force will also result in increase suspension. Yeah, the two

08:01 process is going to be formally these avalanche and grain for grain flow or

08:16 . So here we've got our anger gentle on. Okay, and that's

08:21 you say. If you're any developments all beginning to act that suspended settles

08:30 have seemed personal. Go in that increased philosophy. Yeah, yeah

08:39 If we looked in detail, we to see that in many cases,

08:44 february lamination events are defined by changes raise us. So here we actually

08:51 . Grady, this particular example is the result operating rainfall average.

09:03 if we get more and more sediment transported including sediment suspension, get more

09:09 sustained. The ostrich is here. let us suspended all steeper.

09:22 So the end of what is it's a failure of that here.

09:31 so much suspended seven that we're getting preserved preferentially young here in the

09:38 So you can see how that sustained , beginning to at total force it

09:46 down. Okay, so we're beginning see this transition now, not just

09:52 shape but also in the uh style betting. Now let's look at that

09:59 culture, let's look at the great deposit. If we actually look at

10:07 green size downslope, it's actually going recourses of Now. That seems counter

10:17 because that is the opposite or Mhm. Yeah. Uh here,

10:28 . Where its forces talk. There's difference of the process of the two

10:36 suspended sediment forces, grain falls first a graceful so that gives you of

10:44 the set top Stephanie with brain flow avalanche, it's actually moving is as

10:57 a completely different kind of process. if you've ever stood, I'm saying

11:03 of kicked it to watch the you'll actually see that Porsche grains out

11:10 reason is they have more momentum greater they move forward. So that increase

11:16 manner with failure resulting there's also a . The grain disperses pressure that causes

11:28 the anniversary. This is the same , traction part so earlier now.

11:41 . Ready, slow. It's a of traction and this inverse trading as

11:50 result of the drain your brain forcing the Porsche brings up in contrast

12:02 radiation Of the Brain Fall Horses So we see the distinction between great

12:12 express both the downslope changing grain size entered lamination verdict change. So you

12:26 the President preservation are correct increased presence the football. The amount of

12:44 Mhm. Yeah. What about Okay, the second I need to

12:55 back to your cause. Yeah, . Yeah the problem with touchpads as

13:04 touch them. Okay. Uh well look at this second. Right?

13:19 , this is actually set. Of all these lamination here and here are

13:28 results of the same debt. So this is what it might lead

13:35 . This is something that this turns the pretty important values set within that

13:44 . We can look at shit and focused on your part. Uh Would

13:52 say this is anger and gentleman Uh huh. Gen gentle.

14:11 what you would look for? You with another is encouraging But in reality

14:18 would say most of these are Okay, so although there is a

14:26 of bending most of it I think be angry. Okay, the other

14:38 is there is a significant variation in size between the interview. No.

14:47 take land nations because it must uh is mainly rainfall baby. Oh,

15:00 . A couple of other things Okay, so we go here,

15:06 closer against this a little bit. , the other thing to notice is

15:13 we actually have preserved seven. That's the segments. Uh huh. So

15:21 looking at a kind of a great in here we appreciate here. So

15:28 could actually think this is upset. set proclamation for the absolute vertical aggression

15:38 . Oh, you'll see very You see an opposite forces. Now

15:53 look at a different set. This still a set migration of it.

16:02 . Like I say it's a dude not, can I say, hey

16:08 simple, right? Mhm. More present. Uh some smaller.

16:20 . And so what might be the ? So big ripple, small

16:34 Yeah millimeter create problems. Uh a less. Okay, so it's kind

16:48 reference, although this might be self . There are times when you really

16:52 to look carefully decision shit, genetic . Okay, so let's ask that

17:05 question. Is it anger and general ? Not everybody wants I can use

17:20 . Okay, Okay. Everybody agree that tan genital like that.

17:29 I'd say it's pretty straight. Uh . Unlike, hey, it's clearly

17:38 spin gentlemen. Yeah. So we are looking at uh sometime tangential

17:49 So now we're beginning to define a set. We've got the zone is

17:56 or less spanish the features on the and it looked carefully beginning option.

18:05 we actually had onset set. Mhm. Increased velocity, increased uh

18:18 deposition of suspension. Uh You would more rainfall than the previous previous

18:26 Was pretty much all grateful. This the alternation of grain slow and

18:34 And you begin to see the variability on how different layers well and then

18:45 a reflection of how the different Now I'm remembering that top sent auto

18:52 , here's here's the way they look similar. Uh uh This is not

19:02 upset. This uniform. Does you gives that uh So here we got

19:09 or the lot of self. Now bottom set consent to be tangential bending

19:16 the force that like the previous it could be battle ripples, a

19:21 of ways that it might be Uh might look something like this.

19:26 here we have to have numbers up . Yeah, everyone see this.

19:34 are the actual here, Michelle, is the bottom set. This is

19:45 top set in the forces. Now particular example is what's interprets unit are

19:53 it could just as easily the I make that point first of all

20:07 the lower part of a programming the one that's most likely to be

20:14 and not it wrote it off. bottom sense really has the highest

20:21 Mr. President otherwise it's the And so we're interested in uh what

20:34 and their relative preservation, their preservation relative to report set upset, very

20:47 but of Violent situations including one in only the successor. Right? So

20:58 can go back to this. And we actually have uh the offset this

21:12 we have bottom sense. Um Okay different. And the four sets,

21:21 sets here we have zones for box the they're basically the bottom of very

21:32 set. Oh thank you leo now reason we delineate those is they represent

21:43 only the higher potential but they artifically grain, more rainfall locally, less

21:57 offering flow there. So what these are I was going to compartmentalize the

22:06 within this system. Each of these upset. This package of its usual

22:15 but however we define this potential regional segment based on the box set.

22:27 the flow the lateral. That's Someone positive. Say it again.

22:36 causes once said to stop the next , you know as we go uh

22:46 me get to that later. But me give you the short answer to

22:49 is you either have one bed on on top of another or your

22:56 Yeah. Okay. Now here we're at the prosection field ultimately we many

23:14 is a yellow. Great because Yeah you see here take a horizontal

23:25 The grain floors elaborate discontent that's because avalanche didn't original parts. The grain

23:36 , on the other hand, is laddering unless it's cut out.

23:45 let's look at it. Kind of down, let's look at you.

23:51 gonna cut this up into downslope upper . No. So and what it

24:01 look like, I have to draw fingers because I can't get my pen

24:05 work with A. You come along and then there's a cut out and

24:13 is the green fall. Green Okay, scooped out actually. It's

24:22 of adults. Good B is the of the grain fall. It's a

24:37 . So we kind of have an will scoop the kind of a veneer

24:41 the rainfall deposit, rain flow deposit downslope into a loop. Now,

24:48 we look all the way down that here it is, it looks like

24:56 and it will be covered with green . So, this would be how

25:05 might see uh series of grain flow inter bedded with a series of

25:25 We will get into this more extensively we talk about the aeolian clauses where

25:32 are very distinct, needs anything for time being, I'm just dealing with

25:36 more generalized view their alternating process. there's a few subtle differences between Sebelius

25:45 , real brain falls are not. there's one other process, Another process

25:51 can affect the shape Of a four . Those are reactivation services where basically

25:59 pro gradation erosion for some reason, more pro gradation. So truncation

26:16 we used to think that was mainly function of reversing title currents. It

26:25 pretty apparent that we see these on and union directional flow as well.

26:30 basically it means there's a change in orientation of the for nothing more than

26:35 . And so you begin to rode the top of that slip face and

26:41 re established. You think to kind think about is that rivers and flooding

26:48 flood for a long time or can a flood for longer floods on some

26:52 our rivers can last well in Mississippi can last for months. Okay.

26:57 so there's a lot of variation that occur during that flood. And so

27:04 the active phase of sediment transport during flood can be highly your even if

27:13 quote the same flood. Yeah. lips didn't really, did anyone

27:20 Uh huh. Okay. Uh, one reactivation surface. There's another in

27:35 . Okay. Yeah. Okay. , all right. We talked about

27:46 cents and one set being Typically the sets formed by the migration single.

27:57 look at sets and concepts. here is the fortunate it's migrating and

28:09 of that force. That is one the ways that you got a second

28:18 . Uh huh. So these are properties together all the same type of

28:28 for during the same. Now this police the individual sense if you look

28:39 this is a cut the flow This is a process here. We

28:47 the scoop. This is culture, is the result. Now at this

28:57 those who have to go from and and we cut transfers to something more

29:09 . Now it's apparent because if we it parallel flaw we see again reading

29:16 sets of downstream. Mhm But they a little different. Not showing me

29:24 here but they're gonna look here and and there. Very So what we're

29:33 at is the transition during the same before creamy do great after the

29:42 So what do you think that's telling about flow conditions bottom you can use

29:51 energy and the energy. Yeah. we're looking at some kind of way

30:02 . Yeah bladder artists. And we also say something about Velocities, Shear

30:13 is necessary. How high worthy for was six. Using those to the

30:23 Each of these six. Yeah it formed by similar and so differently so

30:33 Cosette they service it a bunch of . Yeah but save that. Oh

30:48 . So we got set which is bed form in the Cosette between different

30:58 . Now we also have bounding surfaces are the ways we the way we

31:06 that Yes I could draw a line kind of hard is a bounding hurts

31:19 . This one here is the bounding separated customs. So we have a

31:29 of founding service, beginning with the order. That first order value surface

31:39 separately. Six. That's what we when we looked at same set.

31:46 we describe now when there's a change one bit form type or no,

31:56 have a second bounce that's going to this in here, which is it

32:02 direct except. So the second just would be the football on this right

32:14 . That's the second quarter down to . A third over bounded surface

32:23 genetically related cassettes. So it is uh, you can't my blood and

32:36 happened. Third. Yeah. So can see how we're going to get

32:43 people argue that individual lamination zero. , because we are literally going from

32:53 to mystery act and the. And doing so we're beginning to define the

33:04 scale different architectural By the metformin short changes like changing the law Stadio three

33:18 the mega form, which is a , which is active. That maybe

33:28 of a bigger package are quite boss point bar maybe Montreal you think your

33:35 service face, Which is a And though the Andrew surfaces maybe with

33:45 Andrew channels may form a larger group meander belt, the sandstone that consists

33:52 a challenge. That might be a . So we're going to go from

34:00 for me and you will is the our view these deposits. So they're

34:07 back over here we've got this now the first order of service. A

34:16 of other things pointed out the terminology types of that not really interested in

34:25 accept when you get down here. get in here. Okay. We

34:37 this quiet. Uh, but it's the simple concepts in front.

34:47 So yeah, the point is that variability and sets and cassettes as you

34:59 at longer time in larger scale architectural . Now, the other thing again

35:07 to talk about how the create a set. Uh we definitely have find

35:15 saying yeah whether not be ripple times not great deposition compared to the rate

35:25 migration. So for these ripples because a hard greater sense. So in

35:35 particular example there's almost no relation So coming down here is more just

35:48 total set scallop so that multiple sad first of all. And what if

36:00 didn't No. Is that what thing upset is all mothers things like

36:10 A little bit of rose. That's telling you that there's a little

36:20 well you can use the thickness and began to approximation animal rights and veteran

36:27 , this goes back to denver versus and also the Scale of relative to

36:36 death climbing ripples basically occur where ripples climbing on top of it because a

36:49 amount of that coming on the So it's that awesome and I haven't

36:57 at the time. It doesn't have to mind to increase. Conversely no

37:08 so sorry. Along with except and Jeanette woods There is what the state

37:21 suspended. Now ignore these types. a detail. But recognize what's

37:31 Look at this vertical oppression. Now beginning at some of my patients but

37:37 what we got reservations. Can we to hear getting emotional? Let's go

37:45 here. Uh, you see the styles. You see, I can't

37:55 it very well, but you can it better than in some cases the

38:00 side is truncated. In other cases least side is perfectly formed. There's

38:08 some downstream migration but we've got a of vertical accretions, that angle of

38:24 is a function of deposition. And those climbing ripples, we we basically

38:31 this song where you got deposition of side to something arguably on uh,

38:42 to erosion. So we can have get down to the point where we

38:46 a script, there's so little sand you're getting mainly between races and it's

39:00 these here or you're not giving you getting vengeance scope sandwich and recording the

39:09 here. Recording from them like so bet and then of course looking at

39:18 emphasis in itself now mm the case over here. If you look

39:28 you can actually see the four But what if you couldn't see for

39:38 ? The individual wow are not so . And as a result, what

39:47 really see a balance. So that's we call translate threat. It looks

39:58 lot. It's parallel there. what you're looking at, what is

40:04 the examinations are actually the first This is very common in the aeolian

40:17 because the process deposition on the least is different. An avalanche on horrific

40:27 waiver, an avalanche ng and some prefer. So there's very little

40:34 This is very common. Look at . This is also what's forming the

40:41 and lower except they're not ripples is of but rather is no answer to

40:49 form. So sometimes we call me this is a detail nothing. And

41:04 looking at the variation, wow, critical fight I say. Therefore misplacing

41:14 . Yes. Uh Did you see from emotion instead of to increase

41:23 Picture? So this particular sequence here looking at deposition during increase blood

41:33 Yeah. Whereas earlier we were looking three D. To two D.

41:38 decrease. So we can have sediment during the waning fall over flood.

41:44 we can actually have segment depending on you are. Okay, now,

41:52 go back to get to the versus process for tuning news because they're relatively

42:03 west. You think it's slice parallel that dip? It's got an

42:09 it's almost you not exactly position. . Mhm straight. You never get

42:19 . But uh you're gonna see these in the central. Oh I yeah

42:27 here you get very little variation in things of that. Yeah. Here

42:39 got much more saying was impressed with lot of scholar and fiddle. So

42:47 can see this trough across the asian . And here we'll see less lateral

42:58 set because we're scout. So this a cross tabular cross strata, trough

43:12 in this shape owns for ripple or this genomic all for ripples as well

43:19 to Yeah, so here we've got each you see it's for my ripple

43:30 really because but you know are you define the sets um by looking at

43:45 bounding service. The first thing I do when I'm in the field is

43:52 to define the bounding services. Where are truncation. Mm Okay, now

44:03 this flow orientation parallel or perpendicular? isn't easy parents were destroyed from left

44:13 let's turn the corner. Here's another . Again, one of the things

44:17 notice here, I'm defining the first bounding surfaces. Um There's a difference

44:24 color of the four sets that's reflecting difference in composition. So there's a

44:37 of variability. Even something as seemingly as a pro rating. Yeah.

44:46 and right angles. It looks like . So what we're beginning to see

44:52 that sets are basically hus state scours field. So even though these look

45:04 parallel, they're really not. There's fair amount of variation in thickness And

45:13 variation in thickness is better appreciated when look at the strike section. So

45:20 looking at three D. This case , three D. Ripples there are

45:27 cross strategy. No, sorry. . Trying to hurt you. But

45:41 . Okay, this set this orientation , is this orientation here?

45:50 this orientation here, is this orientation . This is actually from the

46:00 You can kind of see where I it over here. So this these

46:06 exactly the same and they are exactly to this here. So you can

46:14 , well, you can't necessarily tell deacons from three kids, if you're

46:20 at a depth section. Yeah, harder but they're pretty similar. But

46:31 there is a more Regular thickness with D. But in reality when you're

46:41 the field, you always want to to find a dip section. I

46:44 a strike section. Okay. Or least in the bleak section.

46:49 Now, the other thing you might about is uh any occurrence if you've

46:57 to di dooms pretty easy to take bunch of dips of the force

47:03 And get an indication for floaters. got three d. Dude, you

47:08 make a rose doc because they're dipping , right center in part because they're

47:14 deposited within a trough. So here actually have the trough prospecting that is

47:24 of exposed in here. And so it in the field. You don't

47:29 to do this in court, you take the orientation of the trough as

47:35 best measure of floating bridge. Now the other thing is if you

47:40 the to erode this flat, you would get what's called ribbon

47:47 Which is this where you've got this cut by another trial cut by another

47:55 for another troll is filled. so again, this is a little

48:02 typical. You usually don't see Exum's quite so nicely. Okay,

48:07 again, this is the flow Mhm. By looking at the elongation

48:13 , otherwise you have to basically take average of a lot of tips.

48:18 elongation of control open for shoots. , here's the trump. Okay and

48:27 that is is an elongated scour has filled. Uh Here is the elongated

48:37 . This yeah. Okay so it's it's the slip face is dipping within

48:52 scalp. So it's like any other uh self critical bed for erosion filled

49:02 deep face. The only difference is erosion very laterally because it's a three

49:08 . Do. So in front of dune is a scour pool that is

49:16 from the upstream side and extended them strips. So what you're doing is

49:33 it like that. So this set filling in that scalp. It's just

49:42 scour is a and elongated scalp. in that culture with something that dried

49:53 like that, you know, it's covered with some more muddy deposits.

49:58 when it was lit the fact and he wrote it. Uh, more

50:02 deposits were stripped away. Uh, this, this is an unusual out

50:08 and I like it because it's The other thing that's interesting about this

50:14 is that the paleo currents below it this slightly nuts. Uh, next

50:22 union, our right angle to And what this records is uplift along

50:31 major layer. My fault so that lower age units were flowing in this

50:38 towards me. Uplift occurred and the was diverted writing. And so in

50:46 area here we're actually seeing the tectonic controlled diversion of a river turns out

50:53 stream. Well, look at it a case study. Uh, it's

50:58 big bet, uh, in Doctor marquis. Uh, that's one

51:05 the things we looked at with paleo when we did our field trips with

51:11 current. Absolutely. Because that's part the paleo geography. Paleo geography is

51:17 apartment and fun. Okay. okay, let's, let's go to

51:25 outcrop. And so the first thing would always do, uh, is

51:33 the bounding surfaces. So, which another about what? On an

51:59 I might give you a, and call photo and ask you to think

52:06 the bounty units and interpret strep. , so let's look at the lower

52:16 or half. Um, sure. this is a tricky question. You

52:24 you're looking at ripples are doing? you. Uh Maybe why do you

52:37 ripple? So and I simply mean lower part. Why ripples mm

52:50 the results? Okay. The thickness the set is less than 10th

52:55 Remember what I said about what the of the set indicates if there is

53:03 , it indicates the minimum height. there's a unless we actually see the

53:11 set, we don't know if that's height of the bed form. In

53:17 , the abrupt truncation makes me think probably not. So my interpretation is

53:25 we're probably not looking at ripples to but we are looking at a change

53:31 the sense they do. There's a there. So uh I'll give you

53:35 hint. This is coarse grained sand to be duped. It's actually two

53:46 . Okay, so we know we've dooms. What kind of dudes?

53:55 who start calling names? I'll tell what Dylan tell me what type of

54:02 stratification we're looking at in this lower ? Remember we're looking at a dip

54:12 Well and I'll even help you a more. Do you think it's plainer

54:19 that is or trough? Do you this is tabular cross stratification for

54:30 Cross stratification trump talk what USB and deadwood? Oh I I didn't hear

54:40 I'm saying. Uh Okay. Why you say that? Mhm.

54:48 Mhm. Okay. Uh huh. help me out. You're right.

55:01 is your wife. Yes. Why Why no? Why do you

55:08 it's happened? If what is it you see here That makes you interpret

55:14 this tablet across the application? I'm sure you make that call with the

55:25 . Why not? Then? We look at a model where I made

55:30 comment. I don't see any You strike section. You do want

55:39 look at the strike section. We have but within this blame. These

55:45 really surprisingly parallel. Equal citizens. look it up here. There's a

55:58 stage we're playing the if section sets in a different section says that

56:10 And what that tells you is it's difference in Samuel's now is this perfectly

56:16 two dimensional areas that are too. there's always gonna be a little bit

56:22 variation in the same curiosity of that D. U. And therefore that

56:29 result in a little bit of a in the down florida. I think

56:36 is about as good as you'll see . Yeah. Um Somebody help.

56:53 would you describe this? Thanks More Swales extra too well except

57:02 Not type of application would be So this is a trough cross stratified

57:17 . Okay now in addition to looking uh shit um when they look at

57:28 the nature of. Yeah right because first step and it's fairly fair you

57:41 again what I told you that he's going off. But It looks like

57:50 being two dimensional rules With angular four are relatively low velocity Going up into

58:03 divisions, suggest increase. Okay, , the other thing we see is

58:10 sets here are recognizing that you are things. Nonetheless, it does appear

58:22 be pretty systematic. And here, terms of things, it's a

58:32 So we're going from two D. three D. Dams and we're going

58:36 thicker dunes. What is the thickness the thickness is at least the first

58:44 to dune height. So what would say about water depth is probably

58:52 So what we're looking at is flow during a rising flood. Okay.

59:02 . Now, oh, the other it reminds you is that when we

59:07 right in here, look at the shit, we're looking we're almost up

59:12 con que We certainly are tangential, concave. And so not only is

59:19 a change from two D. To D. And from smaller to larger

59:27 , dunes were getting more and more itself. So all of these things

59:33 predicted by our increasing flow velocity. look at this again, pretty clearly

59:47 ripple down here, we're beginning to some changes. And again, this

59:54 without my pen. It's hard to . But I've got a bounding surface

60:01 . Vanek surface here in here and up here is a mudcat.

60:24 Okay, so the first question am I looking at dunes, ripples

60:30 both reports on the top? Depends the block. Um Now this is

60:38 uh it gets less clear. We're at two D. Dunes or three

60:44 . Dudes that hurts. This is of those cases where um you'd want

60:53 see the dip section which actually is . I couldn't find that picture.

60:59 . Um But what we do see a decrease in the thickness of the

61:04 set or the set. Now again is erosion but it does at least

61:11 the possibility that we're dealing with smaller with top and that would be consistent

61:23 decreasing flow tips. I don't know sure but that's at least a

61:31 But then we get up into the . Now we're looking at a VIP

61:38 ripple cross stratification. Do you think are two D. Or three D

61:47 trading? Absolutely. It's hard to but see how much pension swell there

61:54 Was the three D. So we're from dunes to ripples and then mud

62:00 deposition suspension. So the first thing note is that we're looking at low

62:09 ah city dunes but I would argue kind of transition from tagger within the

62:16 . And then right about here we from tim's direct. So let's think

62:27 bounding surfaces. First order. First . Second because among dads are ripped

62:40 here. First order. First First order it said. Mhm.

62:48 this is a second order as well what you can't see is the top

62:55 the mud, but if you that would be a circle because what

63:00 mud says is this package ended the period of deposition. This set

63:09 concepts ended with a month. So we've got a Cosette here,

63:17 said yeah. Um you could actually a lot from the port. So

63:26 our core that And so we The first thing you would do is

63:31 to define the bounding surfaces. Then would define uh the cross gratification,

63:44 would reconstruct the type of bed And you would essentially try to reconstruct

63:52 flow conditions under which it was So we've got a nice little flood

63:59 that's going to be a part of point ball. It's gonna be part

64:05 a flu real system. Effluvia And clearly this mud here.

64:13 Is going to be a an influence the vertical permeability of this programming point

64:23 laddering migration. Now, this was , this is uh an example of

64:35 people would typically try to do. will look at the minimum dune height

64:46 on the minimum thickness. I'm let's do this. They're going to

64:54 of all, look at the thickness the sets and try to correlate it

64:59 the inferred dune height. So the here, the assumptions everywhere. So

65:06 trying to show you how tenuous to what we do it. Uh The

65:12 heights about two or 3 times So I multiply everything back to.

65:19 so then we get a dune Yes. And then we scale that

65:26 mean water depth by multiplying that in dune high bye. 6 - 10

65:35 . That's why we can go here we can say this was a really

65:39 flood maybe 20 m above that. . The problem is, well,

65:49 good news is at least they give a range. But in reality we

65:55 use the range we take. Your are How about 22. Now,

66:01 really you look at this range here you can see well it could be

66:04 times six or three times 10. a big variation 63. So that's

66:10 first thing then if you look at debt, you see a lot of

66:19 between flow depth individually. Yes. ordered back over there is also a

66:32 right about here. Uh So the recent work on trying to reconstruct flow

66:39 from dune height is this paper by and the needy. And it gives

66:47 a probability distribution, which is really we need to be thinking about because

66:53 probability distribution goes into the probability of water height, which goes into the

67:01 of the water discharge, which goes the probability of the beadboard equation of

67:07 to predict sediment district. Mhm. what I hope you're beginning to see

67:14 that we have a a tendency to about regression lines and absolute values when

67:24 reality, we're looking at probability particularly we tried them all. So

67:30 keep it in mind here, we a strike oriented gravel. You can

67:37 of all the reasons big dunes uh clearly looking at a strike orientation

67:44 Here, we're looking at a dip . This is clearly even on this

67:50 scale, a dip orientation of three . Guns because of the variability.

68:01 looked at that earlier and of here's the cross section of that same

68:06 just around the court. Okay, we have. Yeah, a little

68:15 complicated. There's a line that I'm here and here, within which I

68:23 a whole series of first order bounding that our laws in shape. And

68:32 you look carefully on the screen, least you can see dipping lamination of

68:40 rebels down here. You've got what is referred to as a sigma little

68:49 . And this is something different. , this is a second order bounding

68:53 between a dune on the bottom ripples the top. The ripples are clearly

69:00 dimensional ripples and then it stops right at the end of the flood

69:07 So, we're going from dunes to rules. Now, the thing about

69:12 doom is that it's concave, here's bring point. This is here and

69:26 a lot of oppression of the top up here. So there's a lot

69:31 suspended sentence. This is really pretty velocity, lots of suspended sediment.

69:38 fact these bands here Dark life. you're looking at is organic material that's

69:48 in suspension and finer courts material that's in traction. And the banning is

69:57 result of ripples that are coming in you kind of alternating suspended bed

70:06 suspended sediment bed load. So we're a variation here that reflects the large

70:14 of suspended setup. We kind of it by the time here. Not

70:21 . And we could make those same from a 4" truth. Uh court

70:27 of all, top set for set set. The nature of the bed

70:33 high suspended sediment definitely do. And here three D route. So even

70:44 outcrops are nice, there's a lot can do record. Wouldn't it be

70:49 if you add core for everything you . But don't assume that this is

70:54 applicable this for outcrops. Yeah. Yeah, let's just go to this

71:05 . Are those unit bars talked Okay, they look a lot like

71:12 dudes in fact. Uh huh. were called very large Sabah Quiz Dunes

71:18 1990 have now been recognized mainly as . And it's an important distinction because

71:29 bars here are scaled more to the river the river depth than with and

71:40 to the float. Mm Yeah. what do they look like in cross

71:45 . Well, I've had to go reinterpret uh oh my stuff.

71:51 ignore these lines somehow. The they when I enlarged the zoom in this

72:03 large four set here. It's more that's a ball. And then these

72:13 these are dudes. Right? Uh what I used to interpret as larger

72:22 . I'm now beginning to realize our law and in the field we,

72:27 kind of saw that for example, got these large scale slip faces With

72:36 of Tens to 100 m. And within it we have a lot of

72:42 . So there was clearly two different or better said two different assemblages,

72:51 , bar forms in a case like . And what we're looking at is

72:57 point bar being a compound bar. . With these unit bars migrating along

73:09 compound bar, which in turn consist a series of flood package generally dooms

73:18 top. So that's what we would here. This larger scale bar for

73:27 and being covered by this material Mhm. Um it's pretty more evident

73:39 . The first time I really began recognize this was on the sand,

73:44 center river and it was clear that was something different about these slip faces

73:52 and here. Then the bed forms here dunes. No problem. Unit

73:59 different. So we put a So here's our trench and here's the

74:07 of that unit bar. Yeah. here's what it looks jim. And

74:15 on top of this we were getting dunes. So I've been seeing this

74:27 more complicated units and I hadn't realized was part of this unit for and

74:32 keep making this distinction between they scale than do. Yeah. So here's

74:41 example of one in the field. Look at the lateral extent of this

74:48 wall. It's just migrates downstream and downstream. But also what you can't

74:57 very well is there are a series reactivation services coming those reactivation services on

75:07 that. I'm good. You know mark my blood drips. So even

75:16 this is very gladly continuous saying overlay underlay by ripple cross examination, which

75:24 less friendly. It still has a situations where there may be slight

75:33 There are some what we've done this all Mhm and speak here. It's

75:44 reactivate individual flood migration. We're going for a while but it doesn't destroy

75:50 uniform is still there. So there'll a little mud erosion. There's

75:57 So these things can go on hundreds meeting people. It's this is the

76:06 looking at side scan and now we're to see these large scale features in

76:12 on top dance on top of So the thing is that uh well

76:25 a think of it as a photograph the surface of the river bought no

76:34 . What you're doing is you're sending a sound way and you're mapping the

76:43 by the change in return time. what it is is a map of

76:50 and the color bars are basically the of topographic contradicts. Okay. And

77:00 what yellow is topographically high? What's is topographically you're looking at Matthew?

77:09 . Uh Besides scan sonar you cannot a cross section. You need something

77:16 ground penetrating radar for that. So know that's an important distinction.

77:24 So. Oh. Mhm. Let sleep. It's about 2:00. I'm

77:34 take it down five minutes or So let them stretch your legs and

77:41 we'll continue on with upper floor regime structures after this. Yeah.
