Intertidal clay‐drape couplets (Gironde estuary, France)

Clay‐drape couplets on subaqueous dunes have been regarded as a diagnostic feature of the subtidal environment since Visser’s seminal paper (1980). The new observation of clay‐drape couplets in the intertidal zone on a present day tidal bar of the Gironde estuary shows that they are not restricted to the subtidal zone.
