Cross Lamina

Japanese: クロスラミナ
Cross Lamina
A type of sedimentary structure. The upper and lower laminae are not parallel, but cross each other at an angle. This occurs because the strength and direction of the wind and water currents that transport the sediments often change. This is particularly noticeable in sand dunes, rivers, and shallow sea deposits. It is used to determine the top and bottom of strata and the direction of transport of debris.
