- rich in organic material, little-no sediment input
- peat, coal
- coalification
- not clastic, but the water in swamps and wetlands is still, very low energy]]> 2019-03-05 07:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/joyce_smith3/GEOL1403_Ch7/wish/337795083 15 Continental Slope joyce_smith3 https://padlet.com/joyce_smith3/GEOL1403_Ch7/wish/337795997 CLASTIC
Not as steep as diagram looks, usually at 3degrees from horizontal!
- medium to high energy, as sediment "tumbles" downhill
- far from source
- medium-fine SS and siltstones
- structure: graded beds
- too deep for most fossils]]> 2019-03-05 07:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/joyce_smith3/GEOL1403_Ch7/wish/337795997
