Facies and genesis of a hurricane-washover fan, St. Joseph Island, central Texas coast | 1970 | Two distinctive subaerial physiographic features that form a substantial portion, by area, of most barrier islands along the Texas coast are the washover fan and the tidal delta. Volumetrically, washover fan deposits and tidal delta deposits form a significant part of each barrier island. |
