Sole markings

Groove casts on the base of a turbidite sandstone, Laga Basin, Italy

Flute casts on the base of a bed of sandstone from the Inverness Formation, western Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Sole marks are sedimentary structures found on the bases of certain strata, that indicate small-scale (usually on the order of centimetres) grooves or irregularities. This usually occurs at the interface of two differing lithologies and/or grain sizes. They are commonly preserved as casts of these indents on the bottom of the overlying bed (like flute casts). This is similar to casts and molds in fossil preservation. Occurring as they do only at the bottom of beds, and their distinctive shapes, they can make useful way up structures and paleocurrent indicators.
