Sooner or later they're going to become meander scars or oxbow lakes, when the river reconnects with itself.
Known in Australia as Billabongs
this just shed light on one of my fav song titles by an aussie group, thank you
AC/DC?

close enough?
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.
