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.
