Contributions to modern and ancient tidal sedimentology / Вклад в современную и древнюю приливную седиментологию

Besides pioneer works of the 60s, the tidal sedimentologist community really emerged in the 70s (see Klein, 1998). The first international conference on tidal sedimentology took place in 1973 in Florida (USA). It was devoted to carbonate facies, less to siliciclastic deposits and mostly to intertidal areas. The conference resulted in a book gathering case studies (Ginsburg, 1975). The fining‐upward tidal flat sequence represented at this time the tidal facies model; and this was mainly applied to carbonates. The growing knowledge in siliciclastic tide‐dominated environments was synthesized a few years later by Klein (1977). Following the paper of Visser (1980) demonstrating the record of tidal cycles in estuarine dunes, clastic tidal sedimentology evolved quickly towards more comprehensive and quantitative studies, both ancient and modern.
