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 3, English, - cross%2Dbedding

... there are two major facies of sediments associated with geosynclines or mobile belts. These are the "flysch" and the "molasse" facies.... The flysch facies is marked by its great thickness and its predominantly argillaceous nature. It is almost wholly clastic, although at some stages bedded cherts or radiolarites were deposited.... The bedding is well marked, uniform, and rhythmic... The principal material is shale or silty shale regularly interbedded with graded beds of dark sandstone(usually graywackes) varying from a few centimeters to a meter or two in thickness.... Graded bedding is the rule; large-scale cross-bedding is absent, although ripple bedding may be present.... Noteworthy is the absence of carbonates, except as concretions in siltstone beds.  2, record 13, English, - flysch
