“…The layers of graded sand and silt ; their process of deposition-the turbidity current-and their ancient equivalent, graded-bed sequences of flysch ; have received as much attention as any single topic in the geological sciences. Bally (1957) prepared a list of 223 references on the subject which later was updated by Kuenen and Humbert (1964) and included 650 articles. New data are added almost daily as the turbidity current holds a key to many problems of first-order importance to marine geology and sedimentology.…”

Horn, D. R., Ewing, J. I. and Ewing, M., 1972. Graded-bed sequences emplaced by turbidity currents north of 20"N in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean. Sedimentology, 18 :247-275.All core evidence supports the conclusion that abyssal plains are sites of graded-bed sequences deposited from turbidity flows. The deposits appear to be present-day equivalents of thin-to mediumbedded, graded, flysch-type sands and silts of many ancient geosynclines and sedimentary basins.' Larnont-Doherty Geological Observatory Contribution No. 1782.

TURBIDITES OF THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC¹

et al. 1971

The northeast corner of the Pacific Ocean is a region of turbidity‐current activity. Cores from this area are dominated by very fine‐grained sand and medium‐grained silt that grade upward to clay. The results presented in this article are based on 217 textural analyses of turbidite layers comprising 30 piston cores. It is possible to distinguish proximal and distal facies of turbidites using characteristics of layering, grading and texture. Features of the proximal facies include wide range of layer thickness, maximum layer thickness, non‐grading, truncation of grading, textural reversals, and sand at the base of graded layers. Areas beyond main routes of submarine flows are sites of episodic addition of silt‐through clay‐sized sediment. The proportion, thickness, and mean grain size of the silt decreases with increasing distance from the main avenues of flow.
