Earthquake indicated? aggrading marsh or possible storm deposits emergence indicated-storm deposit? or aggrading marsh possibly; temporary drop in intertidal level is detected possibly, sudden drop in intertidal level   storm deposit? marsh aggradation? lower, but still a low marsh deposit possibly; sudden, lasting lowering into tidal flat zone no, probably represents aseismic low marsh erosion
