Field photographs of the tidal-dominated facies association (BM-T). a and b Yellow sandstone facies (BM-T1) showing coset of cross-strata, formed of laterally accreted foresets with mud drapes (arrows); c Fine-grained cross-stratified heterolithic facies (BM-T2), showing tidal bundles and flaser beddings; d Red ferruginous siltstone/mudstone facies (BM-T3) with well-developed tidal bundles; e Red ferruginous siltstone/mudstone facies (BM-T3) alternating with white calcareous mudstone facies (BM-T4); f Apparent bi-directionality of foresets (orientations shown by arrows) in vertically adjacent cross-strata sets in yellow sandstone facies. Pen in (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) is 14 cm long. Length of the hammer in (e) is 30 cm
