Graded bedding helps determine the vertical direction in sedimentary rocks. ... Graded bedding is usually a reliable indicator of the top and bottom of a bed, which is useful in studying strongly tilted rocks. Another way to describe this feature is as a bed with normal grading, or a fining-upward sequence.
