“…The precise location of the D. ramea colony was near Panagopoula village, a slope area that belongs to the southern faulted margin of the western Korinthiakos Gulf, experiencing exceptionally high seismicity and frequent submarine sliding phenomena (FERENTINOS et al, 1988;LYKOUSSIS et al, 1997). The basement rocks of the area consist of alpine Mesozoic limestones of the Pindos unit, covered by debris and talus cones (SAKELLARIOU et al, 2001).…”

“…1). Fan delta prograding deposits during Pleistocene sea-level changes, are the predominant sedimentary processes in the steep flanks of the gulf (Ferentinos et al, 1988;Perissoratis et al, 2000;Lykousis et al, 2007b). These processes are mostly related to seismically triggered gravitative mass movements (Piper et al, 1990;Ferentinos et al, 1988;Papatheodorou and Ferentinos, 1997).…”

“…This high extensional regime is associated with intense seismic events that leave their imprints in the texture of the sediments which cover the sea-floor of that area (Ferentinos et al, 1988;Heezen et al, 1966;Lykousis et al, 2007b;Poulos et al, 1996). As a result, the earthquake history of the area could be revealed by investigating the sedimentary processes and deposits.…”

“…Ferentinos et al (1988) found different depositional styles as a result of the type of feeder system (line or point feeding), which was later incorporated in the delta classification of Postma (1990). The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the complexity in stratification introduced by widening of the feeder and delta from an artificial, narrow two-dimensional Gilbert delta to a wider, more three-dimensional Gilbert delta.…”

Autogenic cyclicity of foreset sorting in experimental Gilbert-type deltas

Gilbert-type deltas are commonly characterised by steep foreset bedding. Changes in the foreset characteristics such as grain size, grading, alternating sand and gravel are often interpreted as records of changes of base level or sediment input due to diurnal, seasonal or climatic forcing. To aid such interpretations, an important question is to what extent cyclicity in the foreset characteristics can be explained by autogenic processes rather than exogenic forcing. Experimental deltas were generated with gravelly sand under constant boundary conditions and a varying width-depth ratio of the feeder system. The foresets of the narrow feeder system are regular and show gradual upward fining. The foresets of the wide feeder system, in contrast, show quasi-cyclic patterns of coarsening and fining during the delta progradation. The cyclicity is caused by the emergence of a channelised point feeder system with migrating gravel side bars, which distributes the sand and gravel laterally in a non-uniform manner. This spectacular change of foreset architecture is fully explained by the autogenic response of the feeder system to the width. These experiments are contrasted with experiments and data from literature in the framework of the delta classification of Postma [Postma, G., 1990. Depositional architecture and facies of river and fan deltas: a synthesis.
