These deposits are unconformably underlain by sand dunes and sharply overlain by a palaeosol. They are pale gray sands mixed with volcanic ash and fine-grained deposits, and are intercalated with peat, few centimetres thick. The sand-sized grains are well rounded and well sorted, and consist mainly of quartz and subordinate of feldspar. Both macro- and microfossils were observed from tsunami deposits. Additionally, rip-up clasts and pottery shards were observed, indicating higher-flow regime. The potteries in tsunami deposits provide evidence for tsunami inundation at distance of about 1 km from the present shoreline.}, type={Article}, title={Tsunami event identified in a sedimentary record of the Gaza Strip, Palestine}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/119628/4_Ubeid.pdf}, doi={10.24425/sq.2021.136823}, keywords={tsunami, sedimentology, pottery shard, rip-up clast, Gaza Strip}, }
