Abstract Eolian-sand turbidites form a clearly distinguishable "eolomarine" sediment facies. They are almost devoid of gradation, fine fraction, and mica, and have comparatively coarse sand medians. The sands consist predominantly of quartz grains, a significant portion of which show yellowish-red stains and frosted surfaces, both ...

Ichnocoenoses of a turbidite sole
Ichnos, 1991Specimens of 13 ichnospecies and their spatial distributions were analyzed on a spectacular cast of a turbidite sole surface (2.9 m2), from Eocene flysch of Spain. The distribution tends to be patchy. Except for postturbidite Granularia, no intraspecies overcrossing was observed.

Abstract Deep-water sedimentation is currently a major focus of both academic research and industrial interest. Recent studies have emphasized the fundamental influence of seafloor topography on the growth and morphology of submarine ‘fans’: in many turbidite systems and turbidite hydrocarbon reservoirs, depositional system development has ...

Turbidite Channel Architecture
2010Abstract Field and simulation studies indicate that channel architecture and the presence of channel-base drapes (CBDs) can have a significant impact on oil recovery and represent key uncertainties in the understanding of a turbidite channel reservoir. Accordingly, understanding the frequency and distribution of CBDs provides valuable

The position of graptolites in turbidites
Sedimentary Geology, 1969Abstract This paper shows with two examples, from localities of unquestionable turbidite emplacement, that all of the pelitic zone (zone ρ of Bouma, 1962) is deposited by turbidity processes. This zone is richly fossiliferous in the Ordovician strata of Victoria, Australia, and the graptolites can be shown to be oriented, to the highest horizon, in a

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1973
It is becoming increasingly clear that this paper by Walker (1970)l is deservedly going to serve as an important reference for turbidite workers. I feel, therefore, that it is worth commenting, at this rather late stage, on the following paragraph (p. 233 ) : "A list of lateral changes related to the ABC index has been published by Lovell (1969a), but ...

Vacillatory turbidites, Barbados
Sedimentary Geology, 1988Abstract A vacillatory turbidite is one containing Bouma sequence divisions that repeat within a bed; it presumably results from a single flow event or several closely-related events (for example, retrogressive slope failure). The most common vacillations or repetitions in such turbidites on Barbados are between T b and T c intervals (T bcbc , for ...

Abstract Descriptions of turbidite deposits in the 1960s were based almost wholly on the Bouma (1962) sequence and its variations (Figs. 3-7 and 7-18). Very thick-bedded, massive sandstone and conglomerate lacking the ordered divisions of the Bouma sequence were termed fluxoturbidites (Dzulynsky et al., 1959), grain-flow deposits ...

Orleansville Turbidite: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1982The Orleansville earthquake in 1954 produced a turbidity current on the Algerian Mediterranean margin and adjacent South Balearic basin sea floor which broke five telephone cables. The report of this event represented a cornerstone in the evolution of turbidity current theory.
