Abstract Abundant shell sediments are developed on the muddy tidal flat near the Dongying Harbor of Yellow River Delta. Shells can be easily transported by water due to their special shapes. Many factors can lead to the formation of shell sediments such as winnowing of wave, barrier of eroded crater and plant, block of bank, decline of flood current speed related to topographic and geomorphologic features and shape of flood current. These shell sediments show many different depositional configurations, including some configurations related to flood current such as pit, glomerate socket, steep chimb, groove, sheet, zone, and mixing deposition of tidal channel and some configurations related to wave such as bank, obstructed deposit by mound Shelly depositional configurations change greatly with the declining manner of flood current speed Small fluctuation of tidal flat surface, sediments of tidal flat surface and its cohesiveness all can influence the depositional configuration of shell sediments, especially the glomerate socket and steep chimb. Depositional hydrodynamic force of shell sediments on the tidal flat is obviously different from the normal sandy conglomeratic beach, oolitic shoal and intraclastic beach. Thus, the abundance of shell sediments can not generally be grouped to beach or bar sediments.
