This is called cross-, false-, or current-bedding, and indicates rapid changes in direction and carrying capacity of the transporting medium.

Some sediments are very finely laminated—they lie in very thin layers—and exhibit perfectly symmetrical alternations of finer- and coarser-grained bands which may be correlated with seasonal changes.
