“…Common structures in the bsz are small‐scale folds (Clare et al., ; Ogata et al., ; Jablonská et al., ), ‘necking’ or boudinage (Tripsanas et al., ; Ogata et al., ), brecciation/cataclasis (Ineson, ; Farrell & Eaton, ; Callot et al., ), convolute/contorted bedding (Tripsanas et al., ; Butler et al., ) and structures associated with liquidization ( sensu Allen, 1982a). Furthermore, the bsz can be a zone of erosion if the mass flow erodes into the substratum or a bypass zone if there is little or no interaction between the mass flow and the substratum (Sobiesiak et al., ). This spatial complexity in the bsz is the result of changes in a myriad of syndepositional factors during mass flow such as incorporation of water, increase in material velocity, changes in pore fluid pressure, frictional stresses, viscosity, interaction with different underlying lithologies/degrees of lithification, bathymetric obstacles and flow channelization, among others (Mohrig et al., , ; Elverhøi et al., ; Marr et al., ; Lucente & Pini, ; Posamentier & Kolla, ; Ilstad et al., ; De Blasio et al., ; Moscardelli et al., ; Posamentier & Walker, ; Moscardelli & Wood, ; Alves, ; De Blasio & Elverhøi, ; De Blasio, ; Dey et al., ; Otsubo et al., ).…”
