Parallel lamination - Not all types of lamination have the same mode of origin. Laminae in mud may be formed by periodic changes in the physical or chemical conditions of deposition. Laminae in sand may be produced rapidly and form under various conditions but is commonly related to changes in the paleo-hydrodynamic regime. 2, record 4, English, - parallel%20lamination

Parallel lamination was formed at bed-aggradation rates up to 4 mm/s ... and bedload-layer sediment concentration up to 0.36.
