The first point of interest is the submarine channel of the turbidic system in Aínsa II, whose evolution and structure has been studied by universities and crude oil geologists world-wide. In the following outcrop, sandstones and marlstones show different resolutions as a result of tectonic forces.
Sandstones are broken, whereas marlstones absorb the deformation with a more ductile behaviour.
Later, the track crosses some sandstone layers with sea urchin fossil traces that formed as they were feeding.
The final point shows us a diversity of aspects in the sandstone layers in the turbidites, from their thickness to the variety of texture and structure. .
