Figure 16. - Sidescan sonograph showing an example of an elongate rippled depression seaward of the eolianite. Areas of high backscatter are white and areas of low backscatter are black. Note that the rippled coarse-grained sand can be seen "spilling" from the eolianite onto the low-backscatter silt acoustic facies.
