Two parallel series of experiments were run, one with differently coloured fractions and other with colourless fractions. First approach provided an easier visualization on particle distribution in the sediment using image analysis whereas the second helped to better identify the voids. Copmprehensive sets of results are illustrated in the poster. They provide another clue to understanding the different vertical successions and inner structures in these specific, event deposited beds.
