“…Published work aiming to understand deep-water carbonate depositional systems include vintage articles with initial descriptions of carbonate slopes (e.g. Coniglio et al, 1992;Ditty et al, 1977;James & Mountjoy, 1983;Kenter, 1990;Ravenne et al, 1985), important compilations (Payros & Pujalte, 2008;Playton et al, 2010;Reijmer, Mulder, et al, 2015) and recent studies in which depositional models separate carbonate settings from their siliciclastic counterparts (Counts et al, 2019;Jorry et al, 2020;Moscardelli et al, 2019;Mulder et al, 2014). For instance, the modern and ancient Bahamian sedimentary system has been crucial to understand carbonate platform-to-basin sedimentation patterns, and recognise that carbonate-lobe and channel systems are able to develop in deep-water basins (Betzler et al, 1999(Betzler et al, , 2014Bornhold & Pilkey, 1971;Crevello & Schlager, 1980;Eberli et al, 1997Eberli et al, , 2005Mulder et al, 2012Mulder et al, , 2014Reijmer, Mulder, et al, 2015;Wunsch et al, 2017).…”
