süsteemitasandite
Süsteemitasandite is a term from Estonian geology and sedimentology used to describe a proposed class of sedimentary deposits that exhibit multi-scale, hierarchical organization. The concept combines “system” and “tasand” (layer or stratum) with the mineral suffix -ite to indicate a distinct sedimentary phase. In theory, süsteemitasandite form when sedimentation is governed by interacting processes across several spatial and temporal scales, producing self-similar layering from grain-scale arrangements to macrostratigraphic sequences.
Formation and characteristics: They are envisaged as deposits where hydrodynamic regimes, sediment supply, and diagenetic factors
Classification and significance: Within niche studies, системeitasandite taxonomies group süsteemitasandite by dominant control (energy regime, sediment
Occurrence and status: The term appears mainly in Estonian-language literature and in theoretical discussions about hierarchical
