Video transect line/ Jason dive number top left. A–C Type 1 ripples or topographically-bound ripples. A Dune bedforms associated with accelerated currents downslope. B Ripple deflection around a large clast. C Ripple deflection across a break in slope. D Type 2 ripples or slope ripples with conflicting ripple orientations. E Obstacle-and-scour marks with interpreted current direction (dark arrow) (F–I) Type 3 ripples or reworked ripples with dark arrow indicating interpreted secondary current direction associated with erosional features. F Ripples and sand ribbons with similar interpreted current directions. G Ripples and sand ribbons with conflicting interpreted current directions. H–I Ripples and obstacle-and-scour marks with conflicting interpreted current directions.
