Sand-dominated sedimentary fabrics of the inner Ogeechee estuary are dominated by large-scale bi-directional trough cross-bedding, current-ripple lamination, flaser and wavy bedding, and mud rip-up clasts. Ichnofossils are nearly absent

Fluvio-tidal transition is characterized by the coarsest grain size, graded planar and trough cross-bedding, and abundant organic debris. Bioturbation is nearly absent

Fluvial reach is represented by decreased grain size, unidirectional cross-bedding, current-ripple lamination and absence of trace fossils

Interbedded supratidal sediments are fine-grained and contain Glossifungites ichnofacies represented by Psilonichnus- and Camborygma-like burrows

Ichnological dataset is subordinate to physical sedimentology (physical sedimentary structures, grain size, TOC)
