Photostratigraphy of Ancient Turbidite Systems
1991Photostratigraphy is a new photointerpretation technique for the study of stratigraphic successions. In aerial photographs, stratal surfaces are expressed as photohorizons, i.e., surfaces that can be considered as close approximations of time surfaces. Photohorizon arrangement and strata geometry can be analyzed using some concepts and criteria derived

Unconformities in Turbidite Sequences
The Journal of Geology, 1959Unconformities usually imply subaerial erosion. It is suggested, from submarine geological data, that turbidite sequences may contain unconformities which do not indicate subaerial erosion but are due to turbidity-current scour. Included rock fragments and derived fossils in such sequences may not indicate that the source rocks were being subaerially ...

Earth-Science Reviews, 2002
Abstract During the past 50 years, the turbidite paradigm has promoted many myths related to deep-water turbidite deposition. John E. Sanders (1926–1999), a pioneering process sedimentologist, first uncovered many of these turbidite myths. This paper provides a reality check by undoing 10 of these turbidite myths. Myth No.

The Turbidite Concept in Britain
1964Summary The location in time and space of British formations recognised as turbidites is reviewed. The basis and results of directional studies of British turbidites are discussed and it is shown that although several cases are known of simple longitudinal derivation there also exist significant departures from this ideal scheme.

Turbidite sand bodies comprise part of a broad spectrum of sediments deposited by subaqueous gravity processes in deep-water marine environments. These processes are diverse in type (Figure 6.1), but all constitute part of a continuum. This continuum was classified formally by Middleton and Hampton (1973), who recognized four classes ranging from ...

Abstract The rapid accumulation of data, mainly from field observations and oceanographic research in the past few years, has forced the conclusion that turbidites are not freaks of nature but are very commonplace, especially in environments of deep-water sedimentation. Billions of barrels of oil have been produced from turbidites in the

Abstract There are three major turbidite facies associations: slope, deep-sea fan, and basin-plain (Fig. 9-1). These can be subdivided, from generally most “proximal” to most “distal”, into: (1) upper slope, (2) lower slope, (3) submarine canyon, (4) inter-fan channel, (5) middle-fan channel, (6) levee, (7) interchannel, (8) outer-fan
