Basal sediments (FA1) are interpreted as high energy, braided fluvial deposits, characterized by coarse-grained (conglomerate--sandstone) facies; which grade upwards to tide-influenced, estuarine sedimentation (sandstones and mudstones with inclined heterolithic stratification, FA2), and then to high-energy, coastal sheet and channelled sandstones with different tidal features (FA3); and finally, to fine-grained (mudstones and minor burrowed sandstones) of an offshore marine associations (FA4).

The ages of the fluvial deposits are between 19000 [+ or -] 1570 and 15200 [+ or -] 2300ka, suggesting that the construction of the megafans started at least during the last glacial maximum (LGM), followed by cutting, paleomeander and terrace formation during the early and late Holocene (10990 [+ or -] 2850 to 3850 [+ or -] 840ka).
