Distinguishing between Deep-Water Sediment Facies: Turbidites, Contourites and Hemipelagites
Geosciences, 2020 The distinction between turbidites, contourites and hemipelagites in modern and ancient deep-water systems has long been a matter of controversy. This is partly because the processes themselves show a degree of overlap as part of a continuum, so that the
