Comparison of Tidalites in Siliciclastic, Carbonate, and Mixed Siliciclastic-Carbonate Systems: Examples from Cambrian and Devonian Deposits of East-Central Iran

Figure 11

Filed photos show characteristics of channel deposits in the siliciclastic and mixed tidalites. (a), (b), and (c) Photos show channel deposits in the Top Quartzite and their lithofacies assemblage. Red lines separate fining upward cycles. (d) Photo shows vertical and lateral (67 m) variations in channel deposits in the Padeha Formation. (e) lateral accretion (LA element) in meandering (ebb channels) in the Padeha Formation. (f) Close-up view of a fining and shallowing upward cycle in the mixed tidalites (Padeha Formation). (g) Photo of sandy bedforms element (SB) in the Padeha Formation. (h) Photo of sandy bedforms element (SB) in the Top Quartzite sandstones.
