Lamina that occurs in sedimentary rocks laminae are normally smaller and less pronounced than bedding lamination is often regarded as planar structures one centimetre or less in thickness whereas bedding layers are greater than one centimetre. In general the glen eyrie tidalite is similar to other carboniferous tidalites because the laminated sequence directly overlies a coal is well laminated directly above the coal and becomes more bioturbated and possesses more fine scale erosional features beginning several meters above the coal.
