Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Associated flow expansion into less confined areas results in deposition of the eolian-derived sands as flood-tidal deltas, one in the Outer, and two in the Inner Lagoon. A weakly-developed ebb-tidal delta occurs where the Entrance Channel debouches into the Arabian Gulf. …”
