Most sedimentary structures observed by conventional methods can be easily identified from borehole images. According to H. Blatt, G. Middleton and R. Murray, sedimentary structures can be broadly classified as:

1. Current Structures:

Crossbedding, basal Conform, and scour Surface

2. Penecontemporaneous Deformation Structures:

Drape, compaction, slump, load casts, and convolute lamination.

3. Biogenic Structures:

Bioturbation
