Outcrops

Buntsandstein basal conglomerates outcropping at Rueda de la Cierra. The quartzite cobbles in a sandy matrix are typically pock-marked.

Buntsandstein basal conglomerates near Ródenas, west of Peracense. In addition to the pock-marked surfaces, a strong sub-parallel fracturing cutting through the cobbles is observed. Where the conglomerates have been investigated, both features are more or less obviously associated with each other.
