Abstract:
Deltaic settings are highly complex with regard to the interaction of wave, river and tidal processes. As benthic organisms respond differentially to these processes due to a variety of stress factors, this results in complex faunal behavior. This paper focuses on the ways in which ichnology can help to assess the affects of waves, rivers and tides on the deposition of the Middle Jurassic Plover and Elang formations, Bonaparte Basin using three specific case studies.
