Sedimentary Rocks in the Field: A Practical Guide
PALAEOCURRENT. ANALYSIS. 7.1. Introduction. The measurement of
palaeocurrents is a vital part of the study of sedimentary rocks, since they provide
information on the palaeogeography, palaeoslope, current and wind directions
and they ...
The measurement of palaeocurrents in the field should become a routine
procedure; a palaeocurrent direction is an important attribute of a lithofacies and
necessary for its complete description. Many different features of a sedimentary
rock ...

Sedimentary Petrology: An Introduction to the Origin of ...
Although the more data one has the more accurate is the palaeocurrent picture,
some 20–30 readings for a locality or small area can be sufficient if dealing with a
unimodal current system; for a bimodal or polymodal current system, more ...

PALAEOCURRENT ANALYSES Discussion of previous palaeocurrent analysis
Certain aspects of Williams' (1966, 1969a) methodology for both measuring and
analysing palaeo— current data may have led to an incorrect interpretation of ...

Alluvial Sedimentation: Special Publication 17 of the IAS
Palaeocurrent indicators document an eastward palaeoflow for white sandstones
of the Dhok Pathan section. Palaeocurrent indicators collected from brown
sandstone strata indicate a clear NNE flow direction (Figs 7 & 8A). The basal
brown ...

Fluvial Sedimentology VI: (Special Publication 28 of the IAS)
Spatial distribution of palaeocurrent directions measured from trough cross-
stratified sand in FA2 and FA3. Two overlapping radiating domains can be
identified. Orientations of elongate wood fragments in lignite beds also are
shown.
