Fig. 8

Field photographs of various complexly deformed layers. a Deformed layers showing stacked multiple lobes (arrow), sharply truncated along the upper boundary (white dashed line) by the overlying undeformed cross-bed sets (CS), within the coarse-grained sandstone; b Complexly deformed layers within thinly laminated sandstone are truncated along the top sharp boundary. Note the increasing intensity of deformations from periphery to the center of the lobes; c Small-scale multi-lobed deformations within fine-grained cross-stratified heterolithic facies (BM-T2) showing sharp truncation (marked by small white arrows) at the top, overlain by undeformed cross-bed sets characterized by tidal bundles (Tb) of various types. Length of the hammer in (a) is 30 cm; length of the pen in (b), (c) is 14 cm
