Sediments of the Tay Estuary. III. Sedimentological and Faunal Relationships on the Southern Shore at the Entrance to the Tay.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Synopsis
The southern entrance shores to the Tay estuary form an area of extensive inter-tidal sedimentation. Tidal currents of varying strengths characterise the area and the situation is modified by both wind and wave. The net result is a series of seven sub-environments of sedimentation. The textural characteristics of the sediment and the distribution of major and minor sedimentary structures in each subenvironment is closely linked to stability and changing physical processes. The distribution of organisms, live and dead, provides a good indication of these patterns of sediment and stability.
