Abstract
The Nature of a Fluvial Process as Defined by Settling Velocities of Heavy and Light Minerals
James R. White, E. G. Williams
ABSTRACT
Measurement of settling velocities of quartz and tourmaline in a cross-bedded fluvial sand permits the quantitative identification of suspension and traction loads. Differences in settling velocities systematically increase from zero in the bottomset laminations to a maximum in the upper part of the foreset lamination. Bottomset laminations are inferred to form from suspension, and foresets from both suspension and traction.
