2 Last Time 1) Types of Sediment 2) Sedimentary Rock Classification 3) Sediment Transport Web notes 13 GY 111 Lab Manual Chapter 3
3 Types of Sedimentary Rocks 1) siliciclastic 2) biochemical 3) chemical 4) organic
4 Classification of Sediment and Sedimentary Rocks
5 Classification of Sediment and Sedimentary Rocks Siliciclastic Rock Name
6 Classification of Sediment and Sedimentary Rocks Siliciclastic Rock Name Quartz Arenite Arkose Lithic Sandstone
7 Sedimentary Rocks Four distinct classes: 1) Siliciclastic 2) Biochemical 3) Chemical 4) Organic
8 Sediment Transport Source transport Sink
9 Sediment Transport Bed load: sediment (sand and gravel) transported along the bed of a river Suspended load: sediment (clay and silt) transported within the water column of a river Solute load: dissolved minerals transported in a river
10 Sedimentary Structures Current Ripples
11 Today s Agenda 1) Depositional environments in general 2) Alluvial fans and their rocks 3) Meandering Rivers Web notes 14a: Alluvial Fans Web notes 14b: Rivers and Deltas: Lab Manual Chapter 3
12 Depositional Environments Depositional (or sedimentary) environments: Places where sediment is deposited (i.e., sediment sinks).
13 Depositional Environments Depositional (or sedimentary) environments: Places where sediment is deposited (i.e., sediment sinks). They are numerous. Sedimentologists study sedimentary rocks to reconstruct past environments of deposition

33 Alluvial Fans Best developed in arid regions Best developed in tectonically active areas From Walker, R.G Facies Models. Geological Association of Canada Lateral fining
34 Alluvial Fans Best developed in arid regions Best developed in tectonically active areas Formed primarily through the action of water flow
35 Alluvial Fans Best developed in arid regions Best developed in tectonically active areas Formed primarily through the action of water flow but there are also landslide deposits (mass flow)
36 Alluvial Fans Walker, R.G. and James, N.P., Facies Models. Response to Sea Level Change.Geological Association of Canada, 409p.

40 Types of Rivers Braided Anastamosing Meandering Walker, R.G. and James, N.P., Facies Models. Response to Sea Level Change.Geological Association of Canada, 409p.
41 Sinuous, single channel drainage systems Meandering Rivers
42 Meandering Rivers Sinuous, single channel drainage systems Typically form on low gradient alluvial plains
43 Meandering Rivers Are characterized by a distinct suite of facies and processes Oxbow lakes Levees Floodplains Cut banks Point bars Yazoo streams Cutoffs
44 The channel meanders across the flood plain Meandering Rivers
45 Deposition occurs on the inside of meander loops (point bar) Meandering Rivers
46 Large point bars may consist of numerous accretionary ridges Meandering Rivers
47 Erosion occurs on the outside of meander loops (cut bank) Meandering Rivers
48 Meandering river channels are asymmetrical (deepest near cut bank) Meandering Rivers
49 Meandering Rivers Water velocity is greatest where the channel is deepest resulting in a corkscrew flow pattern.
50 Meandering Rivers Vortices can be either singular or complex. Either way, it results in a sieving action during point bar deposition.
51 Meandering Rivers Sediment eroded from the cutbank is transported onto the point bar where the current is slower Deposition Erosion
52 Meandering Rivers The bottom of the channel is frequently characterized by a channel lag of gravel and/boulders (conglomerate)
53 Meandering Rivers Apart from deposition in channels, rivers periodically flood resulting in sedimentation on flood plains
54 Meandering Rivers Apart from deposition in channels, rivers periodically flood resulting in sedimentation on flood plains Red shale
