Well-exposed, periglacial slope deposits in the Neoproterozoic Isaac Formation allow channel-fill and genetically-related overbank elements to be studied in detail. The key to genetically linking these stratal elements is the occurrence of muddy turbidites interbedded with discontinuous thin granule conglomerate and dune-cross-stratified sandstone within overbank deposits. These strata drape a low-relief erosion surface (
