Cross bedding - are the rocks the right way up?

"Sedimentary structures – cross-bedding and ‘way-up’" This ELI uses cross bedding to determine the way-up of a bed of sedimentary rock.

This activity is an introduction to the types of evidence which can be obtained from cross-bedding in sediments and in sedimentary rocks. Many other sedimentary structures are explained in activities on our website. The index will help you to find all of them.
