Summary

[edit]
Description

Graded bedding in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.

Graded bedding is a type of sedimentary structure that consists of a change in grain size within a bed. Normal graded bedding is the more common of the two varieties - it has larger grains at the bottom and smaller grains at the top. This usually forms after a local flood or storm. The pebble horizon near the bottom of the photo marks the base of a bed - it grades upward from conglomerate to pebbly sandstone to granulestone to sandstone.
