| The landward extent of the embayment fill abuts the western side of the Woakwine Range, a Pleistocene barrier. |
| The northern part of the shield is truncated by a 10 km wide embayment, open to the north and filled by postshield volcanism. |
| In addition, modern and Holocene sediments were collected from an embayment fill succession, comprising a series of relict foredunes at Longbeach, Guichen Bay. |
| Temperate carbonates were deposited in the Carboneras Basin, a small embayment of the Mediterranean Sea, during the early Pliocene. |
| The supraoccipital is a weakly rhomboidal element, which meets the parietal in its deep posterior embayment as described above. |
| Changes in margin orientation at the current location of the southern Antarctic Peninsula form an embayment or re-entrant. |
