Table 1.

Lithofacies codes (1st, 2nd and 3rd order code system) and their description as used in this work (basic system according to Eyles et al. [7]).

Private Lithofacies code: Lithofacies type description: Grain size, grain support system, internal structures
Diamictons:
D(G/S/Si/C) Diamicton, gravelly, sandy, silty or clayey. One or more grain-size code letters within brackets
D( )mm Diamicton, matrix-supported, massive
D( )ms Diamicton, matrix-supported, stratified
D( )mm/ms(s) Diamicton, …., sheared
D( )ms(a) Diamicton, …., attenuated
D( )mm(ng) Diamicton, matrix-supported, massive, normally graded
D( )mm(ig) Diamicton, matrix-supported, massive, inversely graded
Sorted sediment facies, 1st code on grain size:
B, Co, G, CoG, G, SG, GS, S, Si, C Boulder, Cobble, Cobble-gravel, Gravel, Gravelly-sandy, Sand, Silt, Clay facies
Sorted sediment facies, 2nd code on clast support system and internal lamination:
-- cm clast-supported, massive
-- mm matrix-supported, massive
-- m massive
-- pp planar parallel-laminated
-- l laminated (silt, clay)
-- dp delta planar-laminated
-- tc trough cross-laminated
-- pc Planar cross-laminated
-- r Ripple
-- r(A), r(B) type A, type B ripple laminated
-- r(d) draped ripple lamination
-- lg stringer, lag, erosion remnant
Sorted sediment facies, 3dcode:
(o) organic-rich
(ic) intra-clasts (e.g., silt, clay in sand)
(bi) bimodal composition
(im) imbricated clast axes
(ng), (ig) normally graded, inversely graded
(b) burrows, bioturbated
(def) deformed
