Lithology description: The unit includes alternat- ing conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones and mudstones representing an alluvial flood plain depositional environ- ment with braided stream channels (Fig. 2). Conglomerates are fine to coarse-grained with subangular to subrounded gravel of pebble to cobble grade. These deposits are matrix to clast-supported, moderately to poorly sorted and filled with a poorly sorted matrix of sand, granule and fine gravel with a lateral extent of several hundreds of meters. | |
