Abstract

Bedding characteristics of the fluvial Hawkesbury Sandstone (Triassic) of the Sydney Basin are most readily explained in terms of a model of flood- and falling-stage vertical accretion derived from Coleman’s study of the Brahmaputra. This model suggests inadequacies in present concepts of 'braided stream' deposits based on observations made at low stage. A Brahmaputra model may be widely applicable to continental sheet sandstones. Copyright.
