Zusammenfassung

Die Technik der Imprägnierung locker gefügter Sedimente mit Kunststoffen zur Herstellung orientierter Dünnschliffe für Gefügestudien wird beschrieben. Die Orientierung des Quarzgefüges von durch Wind- und Wasserwirkung gebildeten Rippelmarken wurde in dieser Weise untersucht und verglichen. Die durch Wasserströmungen gebildeten Rippel zeigen einen höheren Grad und einen etwas anderen Gesamtcharakter der Regelung. Die Unterschiede in der Größenverteilung der Quarzkörner in den beiden Arten von Rippelmarken gehen klar aus Mikrophotographien hervor.
