Tidal bundle Tidal bundle A tidal bundle is a sedimentary structure that forms in tidal areas as a result of spring and neap tides. A tidal bundle sequence can be seen as a variation in bed thickness with a periodicity of 14 days (diurnal) or 28 days (semidiurnal). During the neap tide, when the tidal current strength is weakest, smaller quantities of finer grains are deposited. As the tidal variation grows larger, towards the spring tide, larger quantities of coarser material will be deposited which results in an increasing bed thickness. Bed thickness will be greatest at the spring tide and then
Investigations and prosecutions relating to the Mountain Meadows massacre Investigations and prosecutions relating to the Mountain Meadows massacre The pursuit of the perpetrators of the Mountain Meadows massacre, which atrocity occurred September 11, 1857, had to await the conclusion of the American Civil War to begin in earnest.
