| Description |
English: Bubble porosity (aeration holes) in marine beach sand in Maine, USA.
Bubble porosity is a sedimentary structure that occurs in the swash zone of a sandy beach facies. Waves crashing onto beaches results in water moving landward and elevationally upward before gravity slows the velocity and water returns to the ocean. Some wave water percolates downward, into the sediments, displacing air that normally occupies the spaces between the sand grains. This air moves upward and emerges at the sediment-water interface in the form of bubbles. After wave water washes back into the ocean, the sandy surface has an abundance of variably-sized holes, representing individual bubble emergence sites. This is bubble porosity (aeration holes). This sedimentary structure is very rarely preserved in the rock record, but is known from some Holocene limestones. In the carbonate rock record, diagenetically-altered bubble porosity is thought to be one origin of fenestral fabric. Locality: marine shoreline at Sand Beach, Mt. Desert Island, coastal Maine, USA (44° 19' 43.62" North latitude, 68° 10' 57.04" West longitude) |
