The report interprets vertical sediment sequences and geomorphic patterns 

 along the low-lying Delaware coast, including elements of a major estuary: 

 highlands undergoing erosion; spits; dunes, marshes; and lagoon-barrier 

 shoreline. Photographs, diagrams, and cross-sections are included.

 sedimentary sequence models in Holocene transgressive barrier systems. 

 Pages 321-354 in D. R. Coates, ed. Coastal geomorphology. State Univer- 

 sity of New York, Binghamton. 



The article describes the transgressive barrier systems of the Mid- 

 Atlantic Delmarva Peninsula, which shows four types of morphologic and 

 vertical sedimentary sequence models: (1) barrier systems, with barrier 

 island, baymouth barrier, barrier island chains; (2) beach against high- 

 land; (3) estuarine overwash barriers; and (4) spit complex.
