A large, angular semi-pelite clast contains two tectonic fabrics, one of which is parallel to bedding within the clast whereas the other is oblique to it. |
Thickness, lithic content and clast angularity decrease from Alto Los Volcanes and El Mirador relieves towards N, E and S directions. |
At 12 of the sites that have imbricated cobbles, clast orientations were measured to derive the palaeocurrent direction. |
It is noteworthy that CLAST members will save money in adopting hands-on, inquiry-driven science kit curricula. |
Graded bedding, in which size decreases from bottom to top, is common: because agitated waters rarely subside at once, declining transport power causes a gradual upward decrease in maximum clast size. |
