Summary

edit
Description
English: Landslide deposit in the Holocene of Wyoming, USA.

In geology, "landslides" are referred to as mass wasting. There are many specific types of mass wasting including mudflows, debris flows, earth flows, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, debris slides, lahars, avalanches, solifluction, slump, and creep.

Landslide deposits generally have poorly-defined bedding, are coarse-grained (note the abundant boulders and cobbles here), poorly sorted (= mix of large and small sediment grains), and can display reverse graded bedding (= finer-grained sediments occur at the bottom of a bed and coarser-grained sediments occur at the top).

Locality: roadcut along the southern side of Route 14, eastern side of the Rattlesnake Mountain Uplift, just west of the town of Cody, northwestern Wyoming, USA
