Chapter 23 Economic Relevance of Contourites
2008Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the economic relevance of contourites. The recognition of the economic significance of contourites is pushed forward due to the continuous advance of hydrocarbon exploration toward deeper waters and the need to better determine the origin of some reservoir deposits lacking “typical” turbidite signature.

Chapter 18 Abyssal Plain Contourites
2008Publisher Summary Abyssal plain contourites are of great significance for palaeoceanographic reconstructions. Ocean basins in general and abyssal plains in particular contain extensive sheeted depositional systems characterized by many thin-bedded-distal turbidites, rare but very large-scale megaturbidites, and interbedded-hemipelagic and pelagic ...

Chapter 9 The Nature of Contourite Deposition
2008Publisher Summary Contourites occur closely interbedded with the other deep-water facies. They range from very fine-grained to relatively coarse-grained deposits and include siliciclastic, bioclastic, volcaniclastic, and chemogenic compositional varieties. This chapter reviews the depositional mechanisms of contourites at the large, intermediate, and
