strata

 
 

Parallelism of strata to sequence boundaries, with no consequent stratal terminations against the boundaries (Mitchum, AAPG Memoir 26).

Allen (1983) when describing fluviatile systems recognized that the boundaries of sedimentary bodies may be non- erosional or erosional.  He identified four surfaces:-
Concordant -non-erosional (normal bedding)
Discordant- non-erosional reactivation surface
Concordant - erosional
Discordant - erosional contacts
