Facies and sequence stratigraphic analyses combined with taphonomic and paleoecological observations of condensed shell concentrations associated with key stratal surfaces, reveal two different architectures for high-frequency depositional sequences of the Pleistocene upper Canoa and Tablazo Fm. This vertical change is clearly due to the progressive uplift of the Canoa Basin and the consequent formation of a less deeply embayed, more exposed configuration of successive interglacial coastlines.

Abstract
Facies and sequence stratigraphic analyses combined with taphonomic and paleoecological observations of condensed shell concentrations associated with key stratal surfaces, reveal two different architectures for high-frequency depositional sequences of the Pleistocene upper Canoa and Tablazo Fm. This vertical change is clearly due to the progressive uplift of the Canoa Basin and the consequent formation of a less deeply embayed, more exposed configuration of successive interglacial coastlines.File in questo prodotto:
