Figure 8. Photographs of 1929 tsunami deposits at Taylor's Bay on Newfoundland's southern coast. Photograph (above) shows three sandy units deposited by consecutive waves. Photograph (right) shows fining upward of a single sandy unit probably related to the decrease in velocity of the tsunami (from Tuttle and others, 2004). Click on image for enlarged view.
