the site for accumulation of aeolian very fine sand and silt,
usually deriving from dune barriers seaward of the estuary.
In these circumstances, if the muds of the central estuary
are laminated, particle-width laminae of aeolian sand and
silt define some of the lamination.
The marginal estuarine system is a shallow water to
geomorphically emerged system. It receives exogenic sediment from a number of sources. Sediment may be
reworded and delivered from adjoining uplands, other
supratidal locations, or alongshore from elsewhere in the
Stratigraphy of Estuaries, Figure 4 Main sedimentary sources and pathways of sediment movement within the Leschenault Inlet
Estuary, an elongate shore-parallel estuarine lagoon barred by a dune barrier, and with river inputs restricted to its southern end, to
illustrate the principles of sediment particle sources and transport.
