The core is comprised of two coarsening-upwards sequences separated by a conglomeratic lag. Each coarsening-upward cycle begins with interbedded sandstones and shales and is sharply overlain by low angle to trough cross-bedded sandstones. ... The basal portion of each coarsening-upwards cycle is typified by a "laminated-scrambled" texture with interbedded laminated hummocky cross-stratified sandstone beds and burrowed (scrambled) silty shales. 3, record 1, English, - coarsening%2Dupward%20cycle

Un caractère important (et facile à observer) des sédiments est la présence éventuelle de granoclassement («graded bedding»). On distingue le granoclassement normal («fining upward») où les sédiments deviennent de plus en plus fins vers le haut et le granoclassement inverse («coarsening upward») où les sédiments sont de plus en plus grossiers vers le haut. 4, record 1, French, - cycle%20%C3%A0%20granocroissance%20ascendante
