progradant talus fan towards a shallow siliciclastic platform


Explanation:
The upper Ambo Group, sedimentologically represents a progradant talus fan towards a shallow siliciclastic platform

silicoclastica debe ser siliciclástica

Creo que es mejor decir *abanicos de talud progradantes*, es más claro, e indica lo mismo, para facilitar la traducción al inglés.

Representar una sedimentación es un aspecto sedimentológico de la unidad

El enlace muestra fotos de abanicos aluviales y abanicos de talud. Aquéllos son propios de partes más planas, mientras que los de talud se forman al pie de las montañas. Normalmente se usa el término talus para describirlos; y slope se usa para referirse a la pendiente propiamente dicha
