cut through delta

Figure 7. A nearby section of the trench climbed a gully wall cut into the delta by a modern brook. Here, the deeper inner portion of the delta was revealed. Climbing up the trench showed flat sand beds deposited on the old lake floor, overlain by more steeply inclined beds deposited as the delta built out into the lake.
