 mentary structures in a Holocene barrier-island-salt marsh com- 

 plex, Georqia. Transactions of Gulf Coast Association of Geo- 

 logical Societies 19:427-444. 



Biogenic structures that are characteristic of various Holocene 

 beach, marsh, and tidal stream facies are the subject of this re- 

 port. It focuses chiefly on Sapelo Island, Georgia, a barrier 

 island that is representative of the "sea island" section of the 

 Georgia coast. The article includes data on various kinds of 

 lekensspuren, a trace-making organism that inhabits the area. 

 Data are also included for Blackbeard Island, Cabretta Island, 

 and Nannygoat Beach.
