| Definitionskos:definition | A type of SUBAERIAL VALLEY; fluvially-eroded, elongate paleotopographic lows that are generally larger than a single channel, and usually develop during a fall in relative sea level and so display abrupt basinward shift of facies at their base. INCISED VALLEY fills typically begin to accumulate during base-level rise (Zaitlin et al., 1994). Cross-shelf and coastal plain (BGU-sT) INCISED VALLEY fills have relatively distinct facies (Wang et al., 2020). Cf. FLUVIAL INCISED VALLEY |
