Abstract
Shallow Water Ripple Mark Varieties
William F. Tanner
ABSTRACT
Eight distinctive but little-known ripple mark varieties have been recognized in shallow water (less than one meter deep) along the Florida panhandle coast. Three additional well-known varieties have been seen in water up to 20 meters deep. The shallow-water varieties are thought to be caused by falling water level, direct wind effects, or a combination of two or more wave sets. One of these varieties, a symmetrical ripple mark, is shown to deviate in plan by as much as nearly 45° from the waves which produce it. Since this latter type is difficult to identify, its lithified counterparts might be easily misinterpreted.
