“…Rapid sedimentation was followed by liquefaction and overpressuring of fluidized sediments (Moretti and Sabato 2007). Cylindrical, elliptical, and funnel-shaped pipes and sediment injections have been described in outcrop and attributed to water table fluctuations (Massari et al 2001;Netoff and Shroba 2001) as well as seismic shocks (Plint 1983;González de Vallejo et al 2005).…”

facies associations preserve from 22.5 to 20.5 cm SSDS/m, and in palustrine carbonate, 13.5 cm mechanical SSDS/m was found. SSDS in fluvial facies are rare (2.9 cm SSDS/m). The distribution of SSDS in the Sm-1 borehole shows clear relationships to sedimentary facies and processes such as density flows or fluctuation of water level. The relationships of particular structures indicate a relative timing of formation which is as follows: sediment deposition was followed by the formation of mechanical SSDS, then by bioturbation, and finally by deformations due to early diagenetic growth of carbonates and silica. The distribution of SSDS in vertical sections and their direct relationship to sedimentary facies point to endogenic rather than external trigger mechanisms such as seismic activity. The main endogenic trigger mechanisms responsible for the origin of SSDS included a Stephanian semi-humid seasonal climate, basin morphology with relatively steep gradients, and elevated source areas, which created a conducive environment for rapid and repeated deposition of sheetfloods and hyperconcentrated flows and turbidites causing syndepositional loading.
