The quintessential s-shape in sedimentology: A review on the formation and controls of clinoform shape
I Anell - Earth-Science Reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
Clinoforms are ubiquitous depositional surfaces in sedimentary systems. The quintessential
shape, with a flat or gentle topset, sloping foreset, and gentle to flat bottomset, is …

Recognizing tide-and wave-dominated compound deltaic clinothems in the rock record
Many modern deltas exhibit a compound geometry that consists of a shoreline clinoform and
a larger subaqueous clinoform connected through a subaqueous platform. Despite the …

Evolution of an aggradational wave-dominated delta: Sediment balance and animal-substrate dynamics (Upper Cretaceous La Anita Formation, Southern Patagonia)
Aggradational deltaic successions are uncommon in the stratigraphic record since deltas
are progradational by nature. However, deltaic coastlines fed by multiple small distributaries …

Mud‐rich delta‐scale compound clinoforms in the Triassic shelf of northern Pangea (Havert Formation, south‐western Barents Sea)
In recent years it has become clear that many shallow‐marine heterolithic and mudstone‐
