Hey /sci/. I'm trying to recognize sedimentary deposition features on fossilized limestone dunes in my local beaches. This is more of a hobby of mine than for a degree, so even though I've been trying to read up on sedimentary deposition, I still have trouble seeing it on old dunes in real life.
I've got a few pics here and I was wondering if any geologists/ etc could help me identify stuff like HCS, Paleosol layers, Progradational beach sets, storm sets, etc. I've got a rough idea for some dunes that I've looked at, but I figure it'd be better to get other people's opinions on these to try and better understand how this beach area formed over the years.
Also /geology/ general I guess.
