Abstract
The focus of these notes is on the use of primary sedimentary structures and stratification sequence as tools for interpretation of depositional environment of clastic sediments, emphasizing advances in understanding that the authors judge to be important. To accomplish the primary objective, several topics have been selected. Experimental flume studies are summarized with emphasis on work which extends the understanding of distribution of bed forms over increased ranges of grain size, flow depths, or velocity. Studies of modern and ancient sedimentary sequences are used to illustrate and interpret environments of deposition. Fluvial sediments are reviewed to show how experimentally derived generalizations are applied or qualified to interpret natural environments.
