Abstract
"Deep water sediments deposited by turbidity currents and shallow water sediments deposited by traction currents are each characterized by a set of sedimentary structures, graded bedding being the most significant in the former and current bedding in the latter. The sedimentary structures of the two depositional types provide a basis for the division of sandstones into two suites: (1) the graywacke suite, deposited by turbidity currents, and (2) the arkose-quartzose sandstone suite deposited by traction currents."
