Abstract
    A lenticular sand body in the middle Pleistocene Shimosa Group in Japan, dominated by climbing ripple cross-lamination, is interpreted here as an estuarine or lagoonal deposit that accumulated under tidal influences. Based on the systematic change of sand-layer thickness in the alternation of sand and mud layers, two sets of four neap-spring tidal cycles are reconstructed from tidal flat deposits that occur just above the climbing-rippled sand. The climbing ripple cross-laminae occur as four different types which signify variable current velocities and sediment supply. lsochrons can be drawn through the climbing-rippled sand along individual bedding surfaces on detailed tracings of the climbing ripple cross-laminae. The dominant types of climbing ripple cross-lamination vary along each isochron. Cyclic variations in current velocity during a single tidal cycle are demonstrated from the vertical evolution in the types of climbing ripple cross-lamination.
