Many authors have used "cross-bedding" and "cross-lamination" as synonymous with "cross-stratification," but it is proposed to restrict the terms cross-bedding and cross-lamination to a quantitative meaning depending on the thickness of the individual layers, or cross-strata. [Cross-stratification is considered to have two subdivisions: cross-bedding, in which the cross-strata are thicker than 1 cm, and cross-lamination, in which they are thinner than 1 cm.] 6, record 1, English, - cross%2Dbedding
