As currents flow across beds of sand, they often erode various kinds of scour marks. An overlying layer of sediment may later fill these depressed markings, forming positive-relief casts in the covering bed ... The casts are termed sole markings because they appear on the sole, or bottom, of the younger stratum. 6, record 2, English, - sole%20marking
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Sole marks, or tool marks, are sedimentary structures found on the bottom of certain current-deposited strata, that indicate small-scale current disruption, or scour. Commonly preserved as streamlined flutings in the rock bed, the responsible obstacle may be a twig or pebble - anything large enough for sediment to preferentially erode and deposit around. 7, record 2, English, - sole%20marking
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The initial erosion-producing event can result simply from current scour, or may result when an object, called a tool, is dragged by the current across the muddy bottom. Thus, some sole marks are also known as tool marks. 8, record 2, English, - sole%20marking
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Erosional scours on bed surfaces are known as epiglyphs, whereas sole structures are also referred to as hypoglyphs. Together these are known as hieroglyphs ... 9, record 2, English, - sole%20marking
