Explore the groundbreaking research on using sole marks to reconstruct flow properties and depositional environments in this 55-minute video presentation. Delve into the first field test conducted in the Aberystwyth Grits Group (Silurian, West Wales, U.K.) that reveals predictable relationships between sole mark characteristics, flow types, deposit types, and depositional environments. Learn how this innovative approach complements the traditional use of bedforms and primary current stratification in understanding flow dynamics. Gain insights into the potential applications of sole mark analysis for interpreting depositional, non-bypassing flows, and expand your knowledge of sedimentological techniques for paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
