Experimental Production of Sole Marks

Abstract

<p>A series of turbidity current experiments were performed in an 8-foot flume. Plaster of Paris was used to record the structures formed on a mud base.</p> <p>These structures were related to the flow properties, specifically turbulence. The structures formed were pseudo-flutes, longitudinal ridges and furrows, tool marks and triangular markings.</p> <p>Comparison to other known work is made with varying degrees of agreement or disagreement.</p>
