Diamicton facies in the vicinity of Duhlata cave, Bosnek karst region, Southwestern Bulgaria
Review of the Bulgarian Geological Society, 2021 Karst caverns in the Upper Triassic dolostones of the Rusinovdel Formation are filled with allochthonous clastics (brecciaconglomerates with maximum boulder size) and locally with speleothems (flowstones). Deposition of the former (diamicton facies) by debris flows resulted from extreme flood events along the upper reaches of Struma river. The polymict

The origin of water‐borne diamictons and their relation to turbidites [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1967 Summary The term “diamicton” has recently been proposed as a non‐genetic name for any non‐calcareous terrigenous sediment containing a wide variety of grain sizes; the lithified equivalent is a “diamictite.” The present paper deals with the origin and classification of water‐borne diamictons. The latter have been divided by the writer

Polish Polar Research, 2015 The Ebbabreen ice−cored moraine area is covered with a sediment layer of up to 2.5 m thick, which mostly consists of massive diamicton. Due to undercutting by lateral streams, debris flow processes have been induced in marginal parts of this moraine.

A glaciotectonic landform in the Shyok valley, Trans-Himalayan Karakoram Range, India
Journal of GlaciologyThis study reports and discusses the first case of glaciotectonic landforms in the Shyok valley of the Trans-Himalayan Karakoram Range, Ladakh, where a large decomposed granite megablock (8.2 km2) along with underlying diamicton is thrust over the ...

Distinguishing characteristics of Diamictons at the Margin of the Matanuska Glacier, Alaska [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1981 The origins of diamictons deposited at the Matanuska Glacier are identified in stratigraphic sequences mainly by the presence or absence of a pebble fabric, internal structure, and variation in gravel-size clast distribution. These properties correlate with major differences in depositional mechanisms and source material.

Depositional dynamics in the El'gygytgyn Crater margin: implications for the 3.6 Ma old sediment archive [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2012 The combination of permafrost history and dynamics, lake level changes and the tectonical framework is considered to play a crucial role for sediment delivery to El'gygytgyn Crater Lake, NE Russian Arctic.

SedimentologikaDeep and narrow gullies dissecting reliefs of the Southern French Alps are filled with 10's to 100's meters thick accumulation of unsorted, boulder-rich muddy material (i.e., diamicton) left behind by glaciers that repeatedly covered the region during ...
