Abstract
Genesis of channel-fill “cross-bedding” and ripple-bedding units in the natural-levee and the point-bar deposits of the Gomti River is discussed. Channel-fill cross-bedding is produced because of development of and deposition in the crevasse-splays on the levees. Occasionally small-ripple bedding occurs, intricately interlayered with horizontal bedded units of upper-flow regime origin. Some of the horizontal bedding near the top of the point bars and levee is probably produced by setting of suspension clouds under low-energy conditions as a result of decrease in turbulence with receding water.
