This conversation with Jesse is about intertidal flats and channel fill characteristics, based on his study titled "Assessing the Lateral and Vertical Variability of a Channel-fill: A case study from the Palix River, Willipa Bay, Washington" by Jesse Schoengut and Murray Gingras.

How do you tell a point bar from a channel fill?  What are the facies in a channel fill?  How big are they?  Where do you drill and explore in channels?  How do you use eta cross stratification and epsilon cross stratification terminology?

May this exchange serve to expand your geological knowledge on the go.
