Deep-sea Ordovician lingulide brachiopods and their associated burrows suggest an early colonization of proximal turbidite systems [PDF]
Trace fossils from Ordovician deep-marine environments are typically produced by a shallow endobenthos adapted to live under conditions of food scarcity by means of specialized grazing, farming, and trapping strategies, preserved in low-energy ...

Sedimentary processes and architecture of Upper Cretaceous deep-sea channel deposits: a case from the Skole Nappe, Polish Outer Carpathians [PDF]
Deep-sea channels are one of the architectonic elements, forming the main conduits for sand and gravel material in the turbidite depositional systems.

Orientations of Mistaken Point Fronds Indicate Morphology Impacted Ability to Survive Turbulence
The Ediacaran fossils of the Mistaken Point E surface have provided crucial insight into early animal communities, including how they reproduced, the importance of Ediacaran height and what the most important factors were to their community dynamics ...

A siliciclastic shallow-marine turbidite on the carbonate shelf of the Ordovician Baltoscandian palaeobasin [PDF]
A metre-scale thick siltstone–sandstone lobe is described within the Dapingian outer ramp argillaceous limestone facies of the Baltoscandian palaeobasin.

Comparing Aggradation, Superelevation, and Avulsion Frequency of Submarine and Fluvial Channels
Constraining the avulsion dynamics of rivers and submarine channels is essential for predicting the distribution of sediment, organic matter, and pollutants in alluvial, deltaic, and submarine settings.

An early Proterozoic metagreywacke-slate turbidite sequence: The Tampere schist belt, southwestern Finland [PDF]
The metasedimentary sequence of the Tampere Schist belt, where it has undergone only slight metamorphism, clearly consisted of graded graywackes, siltstones and mudstones.
