Scientific paper

The dark band spectrum of the Elatina Formation of South Australia is reexamined, and a lumisolar tidal interaction model is proposed as the source of the laminae. The varvelike deposits are produced on a timescale of two light bands per day. A dark band forms when very fine grains suspended in the lagoon water settle to the bottom. The distance between adjacent dark bands is a complicated function of the tidal range and the length of time for which water level is low.
