How does meander neck cutoff form an oxbow lake?

At times, particularly during floods, a river may form a meander cutoff, a new, shorter channel across the narrow neck od a meander. The old meander may be abandoned as sediment separates out from the new, shorter channel. The cutoff meander becomes a cresent-shaped ox-bow lake. With time, an ox-bow lake may be filled with sediment and vegitation.

Does meander help interlocking spurs form?

No. Meanders are features of the lower and middle course of a river, whereas interlocking spurs are features of the upper course, so the two do not cross. The river may weave slightly, but this is not a meander. It's more like the teeth of a zip, less curved then a meander. A meander is more a feature of deposition, and interlocking spurs are an erosional feature. But no. Meanders do not help interlocking spurs form.
