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 characteristic of ...

Turbidite Channel Architecture
2010Field 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 insights into reservoir ...

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.

Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology
Geological Society of America BulletinAbstract 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 ...

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.

Submarine Paleoseismology Based on Turbidite Records
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2011Many of the largest earthquakes are generated at subduction zones or other plate boundary fault systems near enough to the coast that marine environments may record evidence of them. During and shortly after large earthquakes in the coastal and marine environments, a spectrum of evidence may be left behind, mirroring onshore paleoseismic evidence ...

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 ...
