Abstract

[Weissmann et al. (2010)][1] discuss what they term “distributary fluvial systems” (DFS) to address a key question in the earth sciences: what modern systems are appropriate analogues to the rock record? They conclude “Since DFSs dominate depositional patterns in all continental sedimentary
