Identification Type Lithofacies
Name Turbidite sequence
Distinguishing Features
Description Lithofacies comprising one or more graded beds, interpreted as the product of gravity-driven mass transport and density separation of sediment constituents.

Sharp, sometimes erosional basal contact; normal (fining-upward) size grading; may have distinctive light-colored uppermost layer of fine silt or clay-sized material; may have relative concentration of heavy minerals at deposit base.
