Influence of bottom irregularities and transported tools upon experimental scour markings

Abstract

Wpływ nierówności dna oraz przedmiotów niesionych prądem na wykszatłcenie hieroglifów prądowych The formation of analogues of flute markings on the soles of artificial turbidites is facilitated by the presence of tools within the generating current. Patterns of current-formed ridges are shown experimentally to vary in configuration according to the nature of irregularities in the surface of deposition.
