Alluvial Facies

Alluvial Facies is a sedimentary facies characterized by deposits formed in terrestrial fluvial and floodplain environments through the action of rivers and streams, distinguished from other facies by its association with channelized flow, variable grain size, and architectural elements such as point bars, levees, and overbank deposits.
