Cengio Turbidite System, Italy

1985
The Cengio sandstone member of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin in northwestern Italy has a conservatively estimated volume of 2.5 to 3 km3 (length: 6.4 km; width: 4.8 km; thickness: 170 m). It is interpreted as a sandstonerich submarine fan deposit. The Cengio member consists of eight tabular depositional sandstone lobes that are 5- to 25-m thick.

Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Abstract Marine turbidite paleoseismology relies on the assumption of synchronous triggering of turbidity currents by earthquake shaking to infer rupture extent and recurrence. Such inference commonly depends on age dating and correlation of the physical stratigraphy of deposits carried by turbidity currents (i.e., turbidites) across ...

Scaling in Turbidite Deposition

SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1994
ABSTRACT We propose that the distribution of layer thicknesses of turbidite deposits that show minimal erosional truncation and amalgamation should obey the power law N(h) h-B, where N(h) is the number of layers of thickness greater than h and B 1. We support this proposal with two sets of observations, one from formation-microscanner images obtained ...

Hecho Turbidite System, Spain

1985
The Eocene Hecho Group submarine-fan and basin-plain turbidites fill an elongate basin in the south-central Pyrenees that was tectonically active during deposition. The total volume of these sediments is about 21,000 to 26,000 km3. The bulk of the sand by-passed the fan-channel zone and was deposited in the lobe and fan-fringe environments.

Blanca Turbidite System, California

1985
Blanca fan is a submarine fan composed of Miocene volcaniclastic strata. Parts of the fan system are exposed on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands, and possibly correlative strata crop out on San Miguel and Santa Catalina Islands.

Kongsfjord Turbidite System, Norway

1985
The late Precambrian Kongsfjord Formation submarine fan is as much as 3200-m thick and contains inner, middle, outer, and transitional fan environments such as a fan lateral margin. It forms the oldest exposed part of a fan-slope-delta system believed to be comparable in size with modern medium-sized fans and deposited along either a passive “Atlantic ...

Fine-Grained Turbidite Systems

2000
Abstract This Memoir covers one of the most important and active exploration reservoirs being pursued by geoscientists worldwide: fine-grained turbidite systems. 28 chapters show the results of an intense research effort in the 1990s that resulted from the discovery of large hydrocarbon accumulations in fine-grained turbidite systems in ...
