AbstractAn exceptionally well-preserved synsedimentary deformation feature is described from uppermost Miocene fluvio-lacustrine coastal plain sediments, exposed in lignite mines of the Lower Rhine Basin, Germany. The feature is interpreted as a complex, multi-stage channel-bank collapse structure. Rotational slumping of bank material into the channel along two failure surfaces extending below the channel toe generated a series ofminor compressional ‘thrust/backthrust’ structures within the muddy channel-fill sediments. A reconstruction of the failure event is proposed which is linked toa lowering of river stage and subsequent channel abandonment. The accurate description of this unusually well-preserved channel-bank collapse structure may have general application in the interpretation of similar, but less-well-exposed-preserved phenomena elsewhere.
