→Braided-channel deposits
Faunal remains are rare in braided-channel deposits, but locally freshwater pelecypod and gastropod shells are present. Ostracodes are sometimes encountered in the thin clay zones. Plant remains and root burrows are common in temperate and tropical areas and normally are associated with the top-most unit of a depositional cycle. Leaf impressions are found along bedding planes in the silts and clays, and large logs and other organic trash are present near the lower basal scour. Early diagenic inclusions are normally rare, but calcium carbonate nodules and iron oxide pellets are found in braided channels in the arid environment.
