Résumé :	This volume is about sedimentary structures found in relatively complex physical settings, where groupings or hierarchies of features are often of most interest, and mor emphasis is placed than in the first colume on cohesive as opposed to cohesionless beds.
Note de contenu :	Au sommaire : 1. Longitudinal bedforms and secondary flows. 2. Free meandering channels and lateral deposits. 3. An outline of folow separation. 4. Sedimentation from jets and separated flows. 5. Flow around a bluff body : obstacle marks. 6. Heat and mass transfer... 7. Flute marks, mud rippled, sichelwannen and potholes. 8. Liquidization, liquidized sediment, and the sedimentation of dense particle dispersions. ...
