Calculations using linear wave theory show that storm-deposited cross-strata formed in water depths as shallow as 2 m and as deep as 20 m. Storm-deposited bed forms, though widely known, are almost exclusively reported from shallow marine rocks. Their common presence in lacustrine sediments of the Ontario basin shows that these facies can be a major sedimentary component of the nearshore depositional record of lake basins.
