Scouring of Buried Pleistocene Barrier Complexes as a Source of Channel Sand in Tidal Creeks, North Island Quadrangle, South Carolina

摘要

Scouring of buried Pleistocene barrier complexes has been documented through the use of aerial photographs, seismic data, and mineralogic, sedimentary and faunal analyses. This scouring is responsible for large bodies of sand occurring at meander bends and for isolated bodies of clean sand in mud sequences.
