“…An in tu itive at tempt to com bine and use one term de fin ing a com plex bed, for in stance, a fluxoturbidite (e.g., Dzulynski et al, 1959;Leszczyński, 1989) or re lat ing it to a sed i men tary se ries of de pos its of a dif fer ent or i gin (i.e., interbedded debrites and true turbidites), e.g., a fluxoturbidite se quence (Unrug, 1963) or hy brid sed i ment grav ity flow de posit (hy brid event de posit, Haughton et al, 2009) could be jus ti fied un der cer tain con ditions. For ex am ple, if the com plex de posit was the re sult of a sin gle sed i men tary event dur ing which there was the ac tiv ity of var i ous grav ity-driven pro cesses (pos si ble trans for ma tions; e.g., from a sandy-grav elly de bris flow to a tur bid ity cur rent), one might call such a unit a fluxoturbidite (in a gen eral and descrip tive sense).…”

Take for in stance: fluxoturbidite (Dzulynski et al, 1959), atyp i cal turbidite (Stan ley and Kelling, 1978), high-den sity turbidite (e.g., Lowe, 1982), megaturbidite (Laba -ume et al, 1987), of ten as so ci ated with a con ven tional sub marine fan model (sensu Mutti and Ricci Lucchi, 1972) as their main depositional sys tem.…”

“…The con cept, for ex am ple, of fluxoturbidites, was orig i nally coined for the Istebna Beds by Dzulynski et al (1959), al though the same au thors em pha sized the role of "sand av a lanches" in the for ma tion of the suc ces sion. Unrug (1963), who in ves tigated the suc ces sion, even added that "The Istebna beds (Campanian-Paleocene in the Silesian se ries) are per haps the best ex am ple of a for ma tion dif fer ing in sed i men tary char ac ter from a typ i cal turbidite flysch" and also "The sand stones are clean and not muddy as in typ i cal turbidites".…”

The study fo cuses on Up per Cre ta ceous-Paleocene de pos its from the Beskid Śląski moun tain range in south ern Po land con sti tut ing the Istebna Beds. The Istebna Beds, also re ferred to as the Istebna For ma tion, are part of the Silesian tec tonic unit, which forms the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt (part of the Al pine-Carpathian sys tem). The re sults of qual i ta tive and quan ti ta tive lithological-sedimentological stud ies were the ba sis for the in ter pre ta tion of lithofacies types, sed i men tary pro cesses and palaeoenvironment as well as for the re con struc tion of the ar chi tec ture of the depositional sys tem. The anal ysis con ducted on the ba sis of field de scrip tion of the de pos its shows the prev a lence (nearly 70%) of siliciclastic strata rep resent ing a sand stone-con glom er ate as so ci a tion (S-C), which is the main sub ject of this work. The S-C lithofacies: sand stones, grav elly sand stones, sandy con glom er ates and con glom er ates con sti tute the de pos its formed mostly by mass grav ity-flows such as sandy-to-grav elly de bris flows. The dis tri bu tion of the coarse-clastic ma te rial in di cates a sed i ment supply from south erly di rec tions and im plies the pres ence of an ac tive source area in the rear part of the Silesian Ba sin. A succes sion of the sand stone-to-con glom er ate de pos its with the sec ond ary par tic i pa tion of other lithofacies, with a thick ness of ap prox i mately two thou sand metres, in di cates tem po rary in creased di a strophic ac tiv ity in the Silesian Ridge (source area) and the in tense de nu da tion of this area. The up lift of the alimentation area and its de struc tion co in cid ing with en forced rel ative re gres sion and the un cov er ing of the prox i mal depositional zone of the ba sin led to resedimentation of the older intrabasinal ma te rial and re peated mass de po si tion to gether with de liv ery of extraclasts of pre-ex ist ing rocks and min er als. The lithofacies de vel op ment of the sand stone-to-con glom er ate debrites and the re lated sed i men tary palaeotransport di rections sug gest an ac cu mu la tion do main in the form of a lin ear apron depositional sys tem de vel oped in a deep-wa ter set ting. Ex per i men tal mod el ling of sub aque ous sandy flows has con trib uted to a better un der stand ing of the com plex gen e sis of deep-wa ter sed i ment grav ity flows de vel op ing in depositional sys tems rich in sand ma te rial.

. (2014) Sole struc tures as a tool for depositional en vi ron ment in ter pre ta tion; a case study from the Oligocene Cergowa Sand stone, Dukla Unit (Outer Carpathians, Slovakia). Geo log i cal Quar terly, 58 (1): 41-50, doi: 10.7306/gq.1128 Sole struc tures, typ i cally de vel oped on basal bed ding sur faces of turbidite sand stones, are com monly used as palaeocurrent in di ca tors and in di ca tors of the cur rent abil ity to erode. De tailed anal y sis of types and fre quency of sole struc tures in the 128-m-thick suc ces sion of Lower Oligocene Cergowa Sand stone (Outer West ern Carpathians) also shows their po ten tial as an in di ca tor of flow prop er ties dur ing the de po si tion. The mas sive and amal gam ated sand stones, pre dom i nantly con tain ing load struc tures and mi nor grooves with uni di rec tional ori en ta tion, are sug gested to be de pos ited by high-den sity tur bid ity currents and de bris flows. A wide range of sole struc tures in thick and me dium thick-bed ded sand stones, sug gest ing oblique and re verse flows com pared to the main palaeoflow di rec tion, im plies de po si tion from den sity-strat i fied flows where the lower, denser part has a ten dency to de flect when hits a ba sin floor ob sta cle. The up per, less dense part has an abil ity to come over the ob sta cle and shows only small scat ter in the palaeocurrent di rec tion.
