Climbing ripple cross lamination

This is a cross-sectional sedimentary structure of cm-scale climbing ripple cross stratification indicating a unidirectional current from B to A of very-fine to fine sediment, as scaled by a coin. The climbing cross laminae is due to the superimposition of migrating ripples, in which the rate of sediment deposition is greater than the rate of migration.
