Aeolian dune development in an Albian arid coastal braidplain system in Serranía de Cuenca (Iberian Basin, Spain)
The Utrillas Sandstone Group is an Albian to Cenomanian clastic succession which is widely spread along most areas in the Iberian Basin. In the Southwestern sector (Serranía de Cuenca) an arid braidplain was developed and connected to the Tethys towards SE, thus some facies associations present tida...

| Resumo: | The Utrillas Sandstone Group is an Albian to Cenomanian clastic succession which is widely spread along most areas in the Iberian Basin. In the Southwestern sector (Serranía de Cuenca) an arid braidplain was developed and connected to the Tethys towards SE, thus some facies associations present tidal features. Aeolian dune development within the arid braidplain system was possible, although as a minor feature. This paper aims: 1) to describe the facies associations of the arid braidplain regarding their different origin, and 2) to study and interpret aeolian dune accumulations based on the granulometric study of 5 samples and on the outcrop study of the geometry and surfaces hierarchy. |
