Lithofacies Types and Vertical Profile Models in Braided River Deposits: A Summary
Abstract
This article serves as an introduction to the papers dealing with braided river deposits in this volume.
A lithofacies code erected earlier by the writer is expanded to include matrix-supported gravel, low-angle cross stratified sand, erosion surfaces with intraclast conglomerates, and massive mud deposits.
The four vertical profile models erected by the writer are expanded to six. A new model, the “Trollheim type” is proposed, to include gravelly deposits characterized by abundant debris flows. The Donjek sequence type is restricted to gravel-dominated cyclic deposits and a new model, the “South Saskatchewan type”, is erected for sand dominated cyclic deposits. The Scott, Platte and Bijou Creek models remain essentially unchanged.
