caption_attribution_description: Eesti: Kurrutatud settekivimid (savikivim, turbidiit). Loughshinny, Iirimaa. Kurrutus toimus Hertsüünia orogeneesi käigus Karboni ajastu lõpus. Lisainfo: [1]English: Folded sedimentary rocks (calcareous turbidite sequence) of Lower Carbonferous (Brigantian/Visean) age at Loughshinny, eastern coast of Ireland. The Variscan orogeny is responsible for the folding. Additional information from the source: [2]
context_page_description: In geology, interbedding occurs when beds of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology. For example, sedimentary rocks may be interbedded if there were sea level variations in their sedimentary depositional environment.
  Intercalation is a special case of interbedding where a layer is variably inserted into an already existing sequence; or where two separate depositional environments in close spatial proximity migrate alternately across the contact.
  While interbedding has layers that are horizontally flat, intercalated rock on the other hand has slanted layers that streak through each other. For example intercalated conglomerate and sandstone looks like ripples of different material networked through each other somewhat off the horizontal, as the beds are deposited in a gradient. This is likely due to differing fluvial conditions and gradual changes in sediment transport over time.

  Intercalation is a special case of interbedding where a layer is variably inserted into an already existing sequence; or where two separate depositional environments in close spatial proximity migrate alternately across the contact. 
  While interbedding has layers that are horizontally flat (or aligned with the angle of the entire stratum), intercalated rock on the other hand has slanted layers that streak through each other (even when it aligns with the stratum). For example intercalated conglomerate and sandstone looks like ripples of different material networked through each other somewhat off the horizontal, as the beds are deposited in a gradient.
