→Meandering-channel deposits
Faunal remains are generally absent in the sands and silts of point-bar deposits. Plant remains are sometimes common, but those in the lower part of the sand body represent transported organic debris and are not usually representative of the local flora. In the uppermost units some leaf remains are present along the bedding planes, but most of the organic materials that are deposited are quickly oxidized.
