Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: mudstone
Secondary lithology: sandstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "The thickest unit is lithofacies 5, composed of mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates. The sandstones and gravels are found in channels which may be 8 m thick (Diaz et al. 1984).
Environment:deltaic indet.
Geology comments: Lower sub-unit 5-I: fluvially dominated channels; low sinuosity; vertical acretion; unidirectional currents. Upper sub-unit 5II: tidally influenced channels with sigmoidal bundles, subordinate currents (Diaz et al. 1984).
