Depositional controls on tidally influenced fluvial successions, Neslen Formation, Utah, USA
TL;DR: The Campanian Neslen Formation, Mesaverde Group, Utah, is a tidally influenced fluvial succession sourced from the Sevier Orogen, which prograded eastwards into the Western Interior Seaway as discussed by the authors.

Heterolithic meandering-channel deposits from the Neoproterozoic of NW Scotland: Implications for palaeogeographic reconstructions of Precambrian sedimentary environments
TL;DR: The Allt na Beiste Member at the base of the Applecross Formation of the Torridon Group (Neoproterozoic, NW Scotland) is characterized by heterolithic deposits, preserving a varied suite of fluvial forms including inclined heterolithic strata, lateral-accretion sets, up to 8 m-thick muddy floodplain deposits with preserved crevasse-splays.

External controls on the architecture of inclined heterolithic stratification (IHS) of macrotidal Sukmo Channel: Wave versus rainfall
TL;DR: The Sukmo Channel is one of the distributary channels of the tide-dominated Han River delta, and is flanked by a narrow and steep channel bank as discussed by the authors, where a 7m-thick succession of inclined heterolithic stratification (IHS) is developed in the middle intertidal portion, where it consists of interlaminated sands and muds with a dip angle up to 10°.

Architectural-Element Analysis: A New Method of Facies Analysis Applied to Fluvial Deposits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method of analysis for fluvial facies, which subdivides fluvic deposits into local suites consisting of one or more of a set of eight basic three-dimensional architectural elements.

A review of the origin and characteristics of recent alluvial sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometrical, textural, structural, and biological characteristics of alluvial sediments are reviewed with respect to their geometrically, texturally, structural and biological properties, which are related to the physiographic occurrence and hydraulic geometry of streams and to the dynamics of flowing water.
