 Geological Society of America Bulletin 84:3659-3662. 



Pleistocene deposits submerged in marshes are being removed by 

 scouring of tidal creek currents and being deposited as large 

 bodies of sand at meander bends. The study area is North Inlet, 

 a tidal marsh-barrier island complex on the South Carolina coast.
