Depósitos litorales en el Jurásico superior del Cabo Mondego. Portugal

Abstract

Facies analysis of the Upper Jurassic sequence, exposed along Cabo Mondego sea cliffs, suggest that their deposition occured under nearshore environments. These environments were controlled by tides and in some cases by storms. Five unites have been defined, wich correspond to three distinct sedimentary environments: shallow platform, bay and delta plain
