Steriotillat
Steriotillat, also known as stereotillate, is a term used in the field of geology to describe a specific type of sedimentary structure. It refers to the tilting or inclination of sedimentary layers, which can occur due to various geological processes. These structures are often observed in sedimentary rocks and can provide valuable insights into the depositional environment and the forces that acted upon the sediment during its formation.
Steriotillat can be caused by a range of factors, including tectonic activity, slumping, and the effects of
In some cases, steriotillat can be associated with other sedimentary structures, such as cross-bedding or ripple
