No fossils are known from sediments deposited by this sea.
It began as sediments deposited on the bottom of an ancient, shallow sea.
The flood also deposited sediments in many places, causing lasting problems.
Tectonic events are typically recorded in sediments being deposited at the same time.
The amount of sediment deposited (including trees) was estimated at 3,250,000 cubic meters.
For example, a mountain river depositing sediment into a freshwater lake would form this kind of delta.
The sediments deposited in the basin are affected by numerous intrusions.
This is important in understanding the sedimentology and layers of sediment deposited by these systems.
Fish, insects, and leaves would end up entombed in sediments deposited by these lakes.
The remains of plants and animals were rapidly buried by the sediment deposited in the deltaic system.
