La estructura interna de las barras consiste en laminación paralela y estratificación cruzada en artesa, agrupadas en secuencias de energía decreciente. En los surcos entre las barras se acumularon sedimentos finos con laminación cruzada de ripples de oscilación. En la zona resguardada, el sedimento es de grano fino, modelado por ripples de oscilación, con episodios de laminación en convolutas y capas de estromatolitos que muestran huellas de emersión y desecación. 3, record 2, Spanish, - ripple%20de%20oscilaci%C3%B3n
