Mudcracks - What's It Good For? part of Teaching Activities
Scott Brande, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Many terrestrial sedimentary processes are not difficult to observe, describe, and interpret. Yet many of these dynamic processes are not limited to the Earth. One example is the formation of mudcracks that provide ...
