Facies architecture of individual basin-plain turbidites: Comparison with existing models and implications for flow processes

Current understanding of submarine sediment density flows is based heavily on their deposits, because such flows are notoriously difficult to monitor directly. However, it is rarely possible to trace the facies architecture of individual deposits over significant distances. Instead, bed-scale facies...
