Abstract

In addition to the cyclical or punctual intrinsic variations in these processes, aeolian processes, contour currents, seasonal ice cover, nature and mechanical characteristics of the substrate and confinement and physiography of the basin, climate oscillation (e.g. El Niño and La Niña) and relative sea-level fluctuations can interact with or affect the three major processes and should also be considered in sedimentary analyses. Furthermore, modern data seem to indicate that there is no linear correlation between the intensity of extreme events and the amount of sediment being eroded or deposited near coastal systems, which further complicates the interpretation of the preserved signals (Guisado-Pintado & Jackson, 2019). [...]the amount of progradation-erosion along coastlines is extremely heterogeneous, which will impact the preserved sedimentary architecture (Zuchuat et al., 2023), despite documented long-term regressive or transgressive trends. The authors illustrate how a careful sedimentological and ichnological study of outcrops can: (i) recognise the transition between storm-dominated to tide-dominated depositional processes in sedimentary basins, which, in turn, can (ii) confirm (or disprove) geochemistry-based basin-circulation hypothesis; and (iii) help understand the genesis of regional, composite stratigraphic surfaces.
