Location of Formation
• flaser bedding - commonly forms in relatively high energy environments (sand flats)
• wavy bedding - commonly forms in environments that alternate frequently from higher to lower energies
(mixed flats)
• lenticular bedding - commonly forms in relatively low energy environments (mud flats) 11
