The Transition Between Sheet-Like Lobe and Basin-Plain Turbidites in the Hecho Basin (South-Central Pyrenees, Spain)

Synsedimentary structural control on foredeep turbidites: An example from Miocene Marnoso-arenacea Formation, Northern Apennines, Italy

“…This type of beds, however, has sedimentary structures different from those of classic models by Bouma and Mutti et al (1999) showing facies sequences very similar to those of the contained-reflected beds by Pickering and Hiscott (1985) and Remacha et al (2005). Consequently, Type 3 beds are interpreted as being deposited by combined turbulent flows modified by rebound and ponding processes, i.e.…”

“…In this work they are considered as being hemiturbidites, i.e. the dilute tails of turbidity currents able to erode the carbonate mudstone deposited onto the topographic highs, as already suggested by Mutti et al (2002a, b, their p. VI-33, 34) and Muzzi Magalhaes and Tinterri (in press) (see also the discussion in Fernandez, 2003 andRemacha et al, 2005 on the basin plain turbidites in the Hecho Group in the Pyrenees, Spain). …”

Sinuous deep-water channels: Genesis, geometry and architecture

“…East of the Boltana Anticline, the sequences are dominated by submarine channel-fill turbidite bodies (Mutti et al, 1988), which are separated predominantly by upper slope-derived MTDs Pickering and Corregidor, 2005). Westwards from the Boltana Anticline, the succession is characterised by non-channelised sandstone lobes (Mutti and Ricci Lucchi, 1972;Mutti, 1977;Remacha et al, 2005). Cronin, 1994), showing upwards thinning from 1.3 m (base of channel) to 14.2 m, through Units A (0-8.6 m) and B (8.6-13.7 m).…”

Erosion rates in the source region of an ancient sediment routing system: comparison of depositional volumes with thermochronometric estimates

“…Lag-time estimates in the south Pyrenean area have been made by a number of workers (Beamud et al 2010;Filleaudeau et al 2012;rahl et al 2011;Whitchurch et al 2011;Michael 2013). Importantly, the value of exhumation rate obtained refers to the erosion rate averaged over the time scale of the lag time immediately preceding deposition.…”
