Tempestite



Tempestite is a storm deposit.

Tempestites are rocks which show evidence of a strong storm, which has redeposited pre-existing sediments. They occur in shallow-water conditions, because these sediments are disturbed and redeposited by the energy of waves. Tempestites are often used in the scientific study of past tropical cyclone activity, which is called paleotempestology.
