Tongues range from 12 to 25 mm in width and 25 to 50 mm in length; each has one acute angle(formed by two steep sides) pointing downcurrent, and another acute angle(formed by the gentle side extending into the reentrant angle of the steep sides of two tongues of the following) pointing upcurrent; it is common on sand beaches where it forms during the final stages of backwash of each retreating wave. The sides are not more than 1mm high. 2, record 1, English, - rhomboid%20ripple%20mark
