“…Strong tidal currents and tidal dominance for the Puerto Madryn Formation is clearly expressed in the coarsegrained lag deposits flooring the channels, the abundant scour surfaces, the presence of large subaqueous dunes and upperflow regime sedimentary structures (Scasso et al 2015a, their Figs. 28 to 32;compare with Flemming and Davies 1994, and with the axial deposits of Dalrymple et al 2012) as well as in widespread tidal rhythmites, which are typical of macro-to hypertidal systems (Archer 1995(Archer , 2013Tessier 2012;Archer and Greb 2012). On the other hand, a macrotidal regime is still present in the Península Valdés region and it must have been similar in the late Miocene because only negligible changes in latitude or shelf width took place.…”

“…The rhythmites mostly lack marine fossils and bioturbation is rare, suggesting deposition under stressing environmental conditions, which is consistent with brackish waters and high sedimentation rates with high suspended sediment concentrations and minimal bioturbation and wave reworking (e.g., Thomas et al 1987;Tessier and Gigot 1989;Dalrymple et al 1991). The rhythmites are regarded as typical of macrotidal to hypertidal settings (Archer 1995;Tessier 2012), and they are better developed with extreme tidal dynamics within transgressive systems (Archer and Greb 2012).…”

“…Tidal rhythmites have been reported from estuarine facies in the Kanawha Formation from nearby Boone County (Greb and Martino, 2009;Martino, 1996). Factors that favored tidalite development during the Pennsylvanian included 1) high frequency glacioeustatic sea level changes with widespread development of incised valley-fills, 2) coastal embayments that enhanced tidal resonance, and 3) high accommodation space produced by compacting peats or deep scours from channel avulsion (Archer and Greb, 2012). 5.6.…”

“…These bodies, although they are frequently lacking in aspects of stratigraphic context, are chiefly interpreted as incised-valley fills (e.g., Archer and Feldman 1995;Archer and Greb 2012) (Fig. 1).…”
