A transgressive stratigraphy, analogous to that recognized beneath the siliciclastic barriers of the embayed Atlantic and Gulf coasts, was identified in the study area and generated by erosional shoreface retreat of the barrier island during Holocene sea-level rise. Landward retreat of the barrier is indicated by the foreshore unconformity (ravinement surface) that now truncates the fibrous peat. -Authors
