Abstract
Twenty-three exposures with ripple marks are listed, 14 of which are in the Slite Beds. Oscillation has formed at least some of the ripple marks. The wavelength ranges from a few centimetres to one metre. One major and two minor ripple-crest directions are observed, viz. NE-SW, E-W and N-S respectively. It is concluded that the wave marks in the Halla Beds and the Högklint Beds on Fåarö are parallel to the contemporaneous coastline.Keywords
