In the Køge Esker, Spanager lateral accretion features ( epsilon cross-bedding) were produced by complex point bar growth. The point bar genesis is based upon the presence of epsilon cross-bedding, the channel side attached nature of the bar (inner accretionary bank) and the paleoflow pattern. The Spanager sequence is divided into three flow discharge cycles ("megavarvic" sedimentation units).
