Channelform Picture #3241 - Cathedral Bluffs

Cold and dreary November days call for cheery remembrances, so I thought I'd share one with you:  a spiffy little single-story, lateral-accretion dominated channelform from the Eocene of southwest Wyoming, truncating some mud-rich overbank/floodplain deposits.



Man, I have a LOT of pictures of channelforms...

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Fluvial bedforms are my favorite, too. Check out some HUGE ones at my google photo (nee Picasa) page -- http://preview.tinyurl.com/6o6dz8l.
