Lower shoreface

Lower shoreface refers to the portion of the seafloor, and the sedimentary depositional environment, that lies below the everyday wave base.

It is also used for the sandstone sedimentary structure rock formations that were produced by this process in an earlier geologic era, such as the Cretaceous Period.
