dc.description.abstractThe vertical succession of sedimentary structures and textures of Galveston Barrier Island, Texas, is identical with vertical successions in two ancient barrier complexes, one in the Lower Cretaceous of Montana and the other in the Lower Jurasic of England. Within both Holocene and ancient examples, there is a gradation upward from (1) irregular interlaminations of siltstone and claystone at the base, through (2) burrowed and generally structureless sandstone, to (3) low-angle and microtrough cross-laminated sanstone, terminating in two of the examples in (4) structureless and rooted sandstone. This sequence represents deposition in (1) lower shoreface, (2) middle shoreface, (3) upper shoreface-beach, and (4) eolian environments, respectively.en_US
