Clastic sediments deposited in conduit systems can be conveniently be divided into five facies depending on the mechanism of deposition. The channel facies comprises most observed sediment piles and can be subdivided further depending on the objectives of a particular investigation. Diamicton facies and slackwater facies are deposited from suspended loads. Channel facies and thalweg facies are transported as bedload. The backswamp facies is defined to describe those residual in infiltrated clastic sediments that are deposited in place with little horizontal transport. [Pg.21]
