Abstract
Graded Beach Gravels as Palaeowind Indicators
John McManus
ABSTRACT
A series of ridges of fine gravel on the face of a sand and shell beach developed under stable wave and tidal conditions. Modifications related to variations of wave incidence angle are described in plan and section. Steeply inclined lithofacies units reflect low incident angle waves, but gently inclined units result from higher incident angle waves. Gravel coarsening indicates the direction from which waves travelled onto the beach face. Identical patterns identified from late glacial sand beaches indicate palaeowind directions.
