Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Salto Ander Egg |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gravel |
| Lithology description: The integrated stratigraphic col- umn is formed by: 1) poorly structured mud facies, which can be interpreted as aggradational deposits in a low energy flow regime, both proximal to and distal from the channel; 2) cross-stratified clast- supported conglomerate facies; 3) low-angle cross-bedded sandy gravels facies; 4) low-angle stratified sandy silt facies. Lithofacies 2, 3 and 4 correspond to channel facies of a braided river (Brunetto et al., 2015). | |
| Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
