“…In contrast, the low-angle cross-bedded, very fine-to fine grained sandstone beds of facies F6a are interpreted as the expression in core of HCS (Scott, 1992), which resulted from storm wave action (Dott and Bourgeois, 1982;Duke, 1985;Keen et al, 2012). The paired laminae in these beds can be interpreted to reflect the daily inequality of semi-diurnal tides (Vakarelov et al, 2012;Wei et al, 2016). However, assuming that a single HCS bed is deposited by a single event ( Figure 6B) implies that a single bed containing 30 paired laminae ( Figure 6B) represents a storm with a duration of at least one month.…”

Hightlights:• Core-based sedimentology of Jurassic deltaic strata from offshore Norway• Facies analysis of tide-influenced deltaic and estuarine petroleum reservoirs represented by an overall upward decrease in grain size, decrease in fluvial influence and increase in tidal influence. This evolution is attributed to an allogenic increase in the rate of accommodation space generation relative to sediment supply due to tectonic activity of the rift basin. In addition, during progradation, there was also an autogenic increase in sediment storage on the coastal plain, resulting in a gradual autoretreat of the depositional system. This is manifested in the subsequent aggradation of the system, when coarse-grained sandstones were trapped in proximal locations, while only finer grained sediment reached the coastline, where it was readily reworked by tidal and wave processes.

“…The presence of hummocky cross stratified sandstone and amalgamated layers swaley cross stratified sandstone suggest recurrence of storms in shallow marine environment (Harms et al 1975, Dott & Bourgeois 1983, Duke 1985, Dumas & Arnott 2006, Vakarelov et al 2012. Coastal environments were installed on the border of Amazon Craton, and the occurrence of storms suggests subtropical paleolatitude.…”

The Mid dle Turonian sed i ments of the Nysa K³odzka Graben (Bystrzyca Sand stone in the Stara Bystrzyca out crop and the D³ugopole Sand stone in D³ugopole Górne Quarry) con tain trace fos sils, which in clude Curvolithus sim plex, ?Macaronichnus isp., Ophiomorpha nodosa, Ophiomorpha isp., Palaeophycus tubularis, Thalassinoides cf. paradoxicus, T. suevicus and Thalassinoides isp. The as sem blage of trace fos sils points to the prox i mal Cruziana ichnofacies, that char ac ter izes the dis tal lower shoreface and the ar che typal Cruziana ichnofacies, typ i cal of up per off shore set tings. The trace fos sils ev i dence implies that sed i men ta tion took place in a shal low ba sin with pe ri ods of a sud den sed i ment in put, good ox y gen a tion and nor mal sa lin ity. The Bystrzyca and D³ugopole sand stones are de pos its of the shal low epicontinental sea that were de pos ited between the fair-weather and storm-wave base, in the dis tal lower shoreface-up per off shore set ting. The Bystrzyca Sand stone is rec og nized as storm-orig i nated de pos its, whereas the D³ugopole Sand stone is prob a bly the part of prograding "ac cu mu lation ter race". The source of ma te rial for the sand stone was the East Sudetic Is land and prob a bly also the Orlica-Bystrzyca Up lift. The stud ied sand stones are re lated to a re gres sion that started in the early/mid dle Mid dle Turonian and caused a rel ative up lift of the sur round ing land.
