  USC Sequence Stratigraphy: Movie of Clastic Sedimentary Fill and Hierarchies
This minor "ravinement" reworking of the clastics involves the outer edge of the earlier shoreline.
Towards the end of the FFST clastic sediment supplied from the eroding interior is trapped in the incised valleys and the lowstand fan deprived of sediment ends its development.
This late LST is represented by a still stand in sea level and accompanied by estuarine incised valley system fill supplied from the eroding interior and an onlapping of shelf margin slope.

 Clastic Dykes
In this article, Roth claims that clastic dykes are evidence for a young-age earth and evidence for catastrophism associated with the flood.
A clastic dyke is an intrusion of sediment into an overlying sedimentary rock.
The reason most clastic dykes are sands injected into shales is due to the fact that the shales above the sand prevent water from escaping the sand as the sand compacts.

 Clastic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Clastic is a collection of modules written in Clean 1.3 which generate procedural textures: "bitmap" images resulting from some mathematical algorithms describing relations between points on a plane and their colours.
You will be able to generate geometric (regular), or random patterns using a functional (declarative) style of programming.
Clastic works (tested) under Windows NT/2000 under Clean 1.3.3.

  Nile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Eonile canyon, now filled by surface drift, represents an ancestral Nile called the Eonile that flowed during the later Miocene.
The Eonile transported clastic sediments to the Mediterranean, where several gas fields have been discovered within these sediments.
South of Cairo, the sand-filled canyon can reach a depth of up to 1400 meters.
