Spanish term or phrase: estratificación cruzada de gran ángulo
This is a text about marés stone on the Balearic Islands and it is talking about one deposit in general, describing the rock exposed from quarrying. The full paragraph is:

"En la base, afloran las facies de shoreface de la playa, con estructuras de escape de agua por anémonas (Figura 12). Sobre éstas se dispone una lumaquela, compuesta por restos de valvas de moluscos, sin apenas matriz y con estratificación cruzada de gran ángulo, que corresponde a las facies de foreshore y que constituyen los materiales que explotaba la cantera".
