of clastic sediment, typically in the vicinity of major river deltas. During 

 episodes of reduced longshore sediment supply, coastal reworking occurs with 

 deposition of coarse-grained material at the marine edge. During periods of 

 accelerated fine-grained sediment supply, such as when delta lobes occur in 

 proximity to these coasts, the coarse deposits are stranded inland behind 

 seaward-building mudflat deposits.
