5.2 Akaki Catchment (Terrace Chron (Ramp btwn F1 & F3 (When form?…

- - - - Matrix sup horizons lacking imbrication
    - - Waning flow when more water around
      - Lenses of imbricated clasts
- - - - Recycling from older terraces ?
    - - Lenses of imbricated clasts, w big clasts @ bottom
      - Homogeneous layers
- - - - After MSC, Atlantic water input introduced Atlantic fauna e.g. pectin
  - - - (similar age to Vasilikos Quarry)
  - - - Coarse orange sand w mscale beds
      - Few fossils
    - - Calcretions form in strings along bedding planes
      - Carbonate precip in coarser, more porous horizons
      - Diagenetic feats - bicarb fluid flow along beds
    - - Outbuilding delta Northwards toward Mesaoria Sea
      - Too sandy/mobile to support much life
- - - - High uplift rate
      - Wet period
      - Combined effect
    - - Radial drainage around Mt Olympus
  - - - probs before F3 since they flow asymptoptically into F3
- - - - Top of Apalos (marine prodelta?)
      - Base of fanglomerate
    - - Fanglomerate cuts into apalos
  - - - Sandy plain & channels dump sed
      - Sandy delta w discrete channels incised
    - - Channels migrate
      - ∴ Random channels cut & filled on sandy plain
    - - = overspill from flooding events
