Cross-bedding - Wikipedia
WEBIn geology, cross-bedding, also known as cross-stratification, is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane. The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers.
Cross-bedding - Geology is the Way
WEBCross-bedding (or cross-stratification) is a primary sedimentary feature characterized by layers that intersect at an angle with each other. In general, cross-bedding is characterized by planar erosional surfaces that separate beds with inclined strata or laminae.

WEBCross-bedding is a series of laminations included within a larger sedimentary bed. A directional current allows the laminations to build up on the leeward (downstream) side of a migrating bedform called a ripple.
Crossbedding--reading the rock - Michigan Technological University
WEBWhat is crossbedding? The sandstone was deposited on a nearly flat plane, but the beds below were laid down on a sloping surface, rather like brush strokes going one way and then another way on a canvas. Cross-beds are the groups of inclined layers, and the sloping layers are known as cross strata.

WEBOct 27, 2008 · Over time, multiple avalanching episodes will result in many thin parallel layers next to one another. These are called cross bedded laminae, because they form at an angle to the horizontal nature of the main bed. See the graphic below for an idea of how these cross-beds form over time.
