    Yes, current scour the top of the bed and create moulds. Flute casts are the cast structure form from these moulds and form at the bottom of the beds. For more details, look at the diagram below.

    Mud cracks are formed as a result of dessication and exposure to the continental conditions. Mud cracks form at the top of the bed. Similarly, rain prints are formed by exposure of sedimentary bed to the continental conditions. In this way, rain prints also indicate the top surface of the bed.

    how exactly at the bottom of the bed? it is formed by erosion right, so as far as i can imagine the current is scouring the top of the bed and can't really imagine a bed being scoured at the bottom. please explain
