    0.01 sec.
resedimentation [rē‚sed·ə·mən′tā·shən]
(geology)
Sedimentation of material derived from a preexisting sedimentary rock, that is, redeposition of sedimentary material.
Mechanical deposition of material in cavities of postdepositional age, such as the deposition of carbonate muds and silts by internal mechanical erosion or solution of a limestone.
The general process of subaqueous, downslope movement of sediment under the influence of gravity, such as the formation of a turbidity-current deposit.

The remaining homogenate was sedimented at 40,000 x g for 15 min; the resultant pellet was then washed by resuspension (Polytron) in homogenization buffer followed by resedimentation, and was then dispersed with a homogenizer (smooth glass fitted with Teflon pestle) in 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.
Deposits formed by supraglacial processes are better known, but more complex, because sedimentation occurs on an unstable substrate (ice) and superglacial deposits commonly undergo several episodes of reworking or resedimentation prior to final deposition.
The pellets were washed twice by resuspension (Polytron) in homogenization buffer followed by resedimentation and were then dispersed with a homogenizer (smooth glass fitted with Teflon pestle) in the same buffer.
