Abstract
ABSTRACT Experiments, using model orthocones, were undertaken in a flume to determine their orientation behaviour in the face of a uni-directional current. A general theoretical explanation of the results is attempted. Orthocone orientations in the Wenlockian Brathay Flags near Coniston, in the English Lake District, are compared with the experiments. A source direction for these sediments, which are believed to be distal turbidites, is suggested. Doubt is cast on some previously published views of current directions determined from the interpretation of fossil orientation.
