Summary

Description
English: (a) Detail of the unconformity between the P0 and P1 allomembers at Cerro las Tres Piramides (black dotted line). Thissurface places coarse-grained sediments composed of tightly packed phosphate pebbles, basement clasts, shark teeth, and polishedbones surrounded by a sandy matrix (above) in direct and erosive contact with diatomite mudstones (below); (b) below the surface, frequent Thalassinoides burrows are filled with small phosphate nodules; (c) close up of sand-filled gutter casts in the nearshore facies at the base of the P2 allomember. They occur parallel to each other as discrete scours that are usually less than 1.50 min width and 0.5 m deep. In cross section, these erosional structures display a gently (concave up) curved base and outlinesthatflare upward. Internally, they arefilled with slightly sagging sandy laminae that either drape the margins concordantly orpinch out discordantly against them (Cadenas de los Zanjones); (d)finely laminated diatomites (P2, Cerro Hueco la Zorra); (e)close up view of multiple gravel-filled gutter casts at the base of a gravel bed in nearshore facies. Typically, these linear featuresare 0.20–0.25 m wide and 0.15 m deep and laterally connected. Lateral spacing is regular, at distances of about 0.3 m. Their cross-sectional shape is generally symmetrical and some have walls with stepped outlines. Gutters show a strongly preferred NE orien-tation, nearly perpendicular to the inferred shoreline trend. The infill consists of pebble-size phosphatic nodules set in a well-sorted,medium- to coarse-grained sand (base of P2, Cerro Blanco); (f) swaley cross-stratification infine-grained sandstone produced bystorm-induced oscillatory and combinedflows (base of P2, Cerro Blanco); (g) oblique view of trough cross-stratification producedin medium- to coarse-grained bioclastic sandstones by migration of lunate bedforms (base of P1, Cerro la Bruja).612C.
