Figure 2. A. “Anomalous” hyperpycnal arrangements. Transition between massive sandstones (Sm), parallel laminated sandstones (Sl), and sandstones with climbing dunes (Scd), and thin heterolithic beds (he). Note the latter truncated by vanishing erosion surfaces (ves), produced in poorly consolidated sediments. B. Outcrop view of the lobes system represented as cross-section a-a’ in Figure 1 showing a typical, complete hyperpycnal succession (hyperpycnite), and the variation in body geometry generated by the lateral migration of the lobes during the same hyperpycnal event (t2 and t3 in Figure 1).
