Paper Summary

The researchers studied where the sediment in a specific area came from to understand how it was formed. They looked at different aspects like the type of minerals present, the direction of sediment movement, and the thickness of sandstone. They found that the sediment mainly came from two nearby areas, and the sediment formed a fan-delta system in the study area.
