Field photos of the heterolithic layers in studied tidalites. (a) Flaser bedding (Sr(Fl) lithofacies) in the Padeha Formation. Arrow indicates a mudstone lens. (b) Flaser bedding (Dr/Dl lithofacies) in the carbonate tidalites (Deranjal Formation). Arrow indicates a dolomudstone lens. (c) Wavy bedding in the Top Quartzite. (d) Wavy bedding in the Padeha Formation. (e) and (f) Interbedded sandstone and dolomudstone (Sr/Dl) in the mixed tidalites of Padeha Formation. (g) Lenticular bedding in the supratidal setting of Padeha Formation. Arrow indicates a sandstone lens.
