Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary structures are features that develop during or shortly after the deposition of sediment in the depositional environment. These structures can be physical, such as bedding planes, ripple marks, or mud cracks, or biological, such as fossils or burrows. Sedimentary structures provide important clues to the depositional environment and processes that were active at the time of deposition.
