Sooner or later they’re going to become meander scars or oxbow lakes, when the river reconnects with itself.

Holy fuck that oxbow lake schematic on wikipedia looks earily like a vessicle coming of a piece of membrane

The only thing I know about vesicles is that microvesicles are gross… thanks to paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler.

My first thought when seeing this was future home of an ox bow lake

And not far future! Both bends are within a couple of trees in missing each other.

For those not on the water much, see the beach on the left of the top bow? The opposite side is where the water is deeper and faster. It’ll chew through that bank and meet the other side soon enough.
