A HST shelf facies assemblage: a Dark-gray shale facies overlying the maximum flooding zone; b Comparatively lighter-colored shale encasing starved siltstone ripples. Note escape burrows (arrows) and discernible deformation of strata around them; c Sandy shale facies still lighter in color because of buff-colored sandstone ripples encased by dark shale laminae. Note vertical sand-filled burrows (arrows) with mud linings; d Shaly sandstone facies in which mud accumulated preferably within the troughs of the sandy ripples. Note mud drapes on the ripple laminae too; e Herringbone cross-stratified sandstone facies; f Compound cross-stratified facies; g Parasequence, Fe-encrusted on top (hammer on top). Scale bar = 5 cm
