Parting lineation

Parting lineation is a subtle sedimentary structure in which sand grains are aligned in parallel lines or grooves on the surface of a body of sand. The orientation of the lineation is used as a paleocurrent indicator, although the precise flow direction is often indeterminable. They are also the primary indicator of the lower part of the upper flow regime bedform.
