Sedimentology and geomorphology of the modern epsilon cross-stratified point bar deposits in the Athabasca upper delta plain ...
Bibliography: p. 103-116. ... : Epsilon cross-stratification (ECS) has been observed in many ancient channel point bar deposits. Investigation of ECS in modern tidal and estuarine systems has been limited in scale and/or detail of investigation. ECS has been documented to exist in only one fluvial s...
