Abstract
This paper presents a compilation of sedimentary bedforms identified from acoustic and seismic records collected over the southeastern Canadian continental shelf. In order to make the compilation it was found necessary to firstly review and synthesise the various terminologies used to describe the bedforms found, and thereafter to relate the subsequent terminology to any diagnostic, generic characteristic identifiable from the records. The bedforms on the southeastern Canadian continental shelf are abundant and widespread. Virtually all types of bedforms, recognisable on the U.S. shelf are present to the north. The majority of these bedforms appear to be storm generated and are considered intermittently active. Many of the sand waves (s.s.) have no measureable relief though retaining their distinctive spatial geometry.
