Please read the textbook (Nichols, 2004) and the referenced textbook (Boggs, 2006) related to the sedimentary structures. If you are still confused with the origin and environmental implications of the sedimentary structures, ask questions in class and talk to me or the TA during office hours or anytime you find me in the office.
