The economic importance of contourites [PDF]

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2007
Abstract The importance of contour currents in shaping and building continental margins has long been accepted. Their economic implications and the stratigraphic framework in which they are developed remain largely unknown. Data retrieved from sidescan sonar images, seismic profiles and their attribute maps, as well as sea-floor coring ...

The Bottom Current Sediments (Contourites) in the Upper Cretaceus Deep-Water Deposits in the Northeeastern Part of Žumberak (Croatia)

Geologia Croatica, 2010
The Upper Cretaceous deep marine deposits in NE parts of Žumberakcontain sediments deposited by bottom currents - muddy, sandy andsandy-gravelly contourites. The complete (negative-positive) sequencesand incomplete (negative-positive) sequences have been

Investigations on the Peach 4 Debrite, a Late Pleistocene Mass Movement on the Northwest British Continental Margin [PDF]

, 2010
The Peach 4 debrite is the most recent in a series of large scale Pleistocene MTDs within the Barra fan on the northwest British continental margin. Geophysical data indicate that Peach 4 was formed through a combination of blocky and muddy debris flows

Interaction between turbidity currents and a contour current – A rare example from the Ordovician of Shaanxi province, China

Geologos, 2019
The silty top parts of graded turbidites of the Late Ordovician Pingliang Formation, which accumulated along the southern margin of the Ordos Basin (central China), have been reworked by contour currents.

Sandy contourite drift in the late Miocene Rifian Corridor (Morocco):Reconstruction of depositional environments in a foreland-basin seaway [PDF]

, 2017
The Rifian Corridor was a seaway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea during the late Miocene. The seaway progressively closed, leading to the Messinian Salinity Crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the key palaeogeographic importance
