Global case studies of soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS): Definitions, classifications, advances, origins, and problems

Soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS) have been the focus of attention for over 150 years. Existing unconstrained definitions allow one to classify a wide range of features under the umbrella phrase “SSDS”.
