Resumen:
Beautiful outcrops of marine and transitional Miocene sedimentary rocks are found along the cliffs of Puerto Madryn and Valdés Peninsula region. These beds represent shallow marine to estuarine deposits and preserve highly diverse fossil biota. We?ll visit nice exposures of estuarine and shelf sediments with examples of tidal channel and tidal flat deposits. We also will visit some modern macrotidal coastal environments around Valdes Peninsula to observe geomorphological features such as salt marshes, spit barriers and tidal channels. These activities will have the magnificent scenery of the San José and Nuevo Gulfs and their marine fauna (whales, seals, sea-elephants, penguins, marine birds).
