| Although in present world deltas, river-mouth tidal ridges form one of the major sand bodies associated with rivers prograding into basins displaying macro- or high-tidal ranges, literature on these river-mouth tidal ridges is sparse. Many past river deltas undoubtedly existed in similar environmental settings, and they must therefore form prominent sand bodies in many ancient-rock deltaic sequences.
