Sequence of facies at a Holocene storm-dominated regressive barrier at Praia de Leste, southern Brazil

► Quarries have provided exceptional outcrops of the Holocene barrier facies ► The facies sequence differs from other sequences of clastic shoreline facies ► The facies sequence has high content of fine sediment and plant debris ► There is predominance on the shoreface of swaley cross-stratified sand facies ► Improved precision on the spread of depths for different sedimentary facies
