Aeolian dune development in an Albian arid coastal braidplain systemin Serranía de Cuenca (Iberian Basin, Spain)
The Utrillas Sandstone Group is an Albian to Cenomanian clasticsuccession which is widely spread along most areas in the Iberian Basin. Inthe Southwestern sector (Serranía de Cuenca) an arid braidplain wasdeveloped and connected to the Tethys towards SE, thus some faciesassociations present tidal fe...

| Sumario: | The Utrillas Sandstone Group is an Albian to Cenomanian clasticsuccession which is widely spread along most areas in the Iberian Basin. Inthe Southwestern sector (Serranía de Cuenca) an arid braidplain wasdeveloped and connected to the Tethys towards SE, thus some faciesassociations present tidal features. Aeolian dune development within thearid braidplain system was possible, although as a minor feature. This paperaims: 1) to describe the facies associations of the arid braidplain regardingtheir different origin, and 2) to study and interpret aeolian duneaccumulations based on the granulometric study of 5 samples and on theoutcrop study of the geometry and surfaces hierarchy |
