A geologist finds a section of rock that shows ripple marks What does the presence of ripple marks say about the area where the rock formed?
I just boarded sorry
How are ripple marks formed?
In general, ripple marks are those marks left by water or wind or a surface they have affected. Ripple marks caused by water may appear on rock, or on sand caused by water or wind. Use the link below for more information and some pics.
What is the name of small waves formed on the surface of sand by the action of water or wind?
I think the answer is called ripple marks
Sedimentary rocks with ripple marks suggest that the rocks formed where?
Ripple marks in sedimentary rock were emplaced in sediments by near shore wave action, covered by additional sediments, and eventually lithified into a solid rock which becomes exposed by weathering and erosion of overlying material over large expanses of time.
What sedimentary features can each be used to determine paleocurrent directions?
Ripple marks

That would be Ripple Marks

Which type of rock is likely to show ripple marks and fossils?
Sedimentary rocks show fossils, because of pre-existing life forms. They also show ripple marks due to weathering and erosion...

Ripple marks in rocks are formed by?
They initially are formed by moving water which arranges sediment in patterned formations. If the ripples in the sediment are covered with other sediments before being obliterated, or if the ripple marks dry, and are then covered with subsequent sediments, they may eventually be preserved in the rock strata.
What sedimentary features can each be used to determine paleocurrent directions?
Ripple marks
