Turbidite facies model shows Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, and Te divisions. The Ta division is considered to be a product of a turbidity current only if it is normally graded. By not using Bouma divisions, each layer is interpreted individually.

Tc, Td, and Te divisions. Conventional interpretation is that the entire sequence is a product of a turbidity current (Bouma, 1962; Walker, 1965; Middleton and Hampton, 1973). According to Lowe (1982), the Ta division is a product of a high- density turbidity current and Tb, Tc, and Td divisions are deposits of low-density turbidity currents. In this book, the Ta division is considered to be a product of a turbidity current only if it is normally graded, otherwise it is a product of a sandy debris flow; the Tb, Tc, and Td divisions are considered to be deposits of bottom- current reworking.

(A) Sedimentological log of Unit 9 showing contorted layers, deformed cross beds, and rippled top. (B) Two alternative interpretations of field description. (1) By using Bouma divisions, the unit could be interpreted as a turbidite. (2) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of plastic flows or bottom current reworking or zone of shearing. Annot Sandstone (EoceneOligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.4. (A) Field description of amalgamated Unit 12A showing basal inverse grading (at 5 m) with clasts and granules and upper intervals of normal grading and parallel laminae. Note underlying severely contorted layers. In cases like this, it is difficult to determine the true basal contact of the unit (i.e., at 0 m or at 5 m?). (B) Two alternative interpretations of field description. (1) By using Bouma divisions, the upper part (510.8 m) could be interpreted as a turbidite. (2) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of plastic flows or bottom current reworking. Plastic flows represent sandy debris flows. Unit 12A (see Fig. 4. 37 for location map in which Units 12A, 12B, and 12C are shown as a single dot).

(B) Two alternative interpretations of field description of Unit 1. (1) By using Bouma divisions, the upper part could be interpreted as turbidites. (2) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of Newtonian flow (turbidity currents), bottom current reworking or plastic flow. Plastic flows represent sandy debris flows. Annot Sandstone (Eocene-Oligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.11. (A) Sedimentological log of amalgamated sandstone Unit 8 showing basal inverse grading, floating armored mudstone balls, lenticular layers, and pockets of gravel.

(A) Sedimentological log of amalgamated Unit 8 showing complex internal features, such as basal inverse grading, armored mudstone balls, lenticular layers, and pockets of gravel. (B) Two alternative interpretations of field description of Unit 8. (1) By using Bouma divisions, the entire unit could be described as complete Bouma Sequence and could be interpreted as a turbidite. (2) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of plastic flows or bottom current reworking. Plastic flows represent sandy debris flows. Annot Sandstone (Eocene-Oligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.13. Diagram showing three increasing levels of detail in field description of Unit 8. Level 1: Low degree of detail that shows a simple normally graded bed. Note absence of basal inverse grading and other complex features. This level of detail would result in interpretation of the sandstone unit as the deposit of a single turbidity current. Boumas (1962) published graphic logs of 157 layers in measured sections of K (38 layers), ABC (28 layers), and Q (91 layers), which include Unit 8 of this study. They all show level 1 degree of detail (see Bouma, 1962, his Enclosures I, II, and III). Level 2: Moderate degree of detail shows a normally graded bed with Bouma divisions. This level of detail would also result in a turbidity current interpretation. Level 3: High degree of detail showing basal inverse grading, armored mudstone balls, lenticular layers, and pockets of gravels. This level of detail would result in interpretation of the unit as the deposit of multiple depositional events by plastic flows and bottom currents. Annot Sandstone (EoceneOligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. (After Shanmugam (2002a). Reproduced with permission from Elsevier.) Fig. 8.14. (A) Sedimentological log of Annot Unit 2 in which the lower interval (02.75 m) is composed of contorted layers with pockets of gravel and floating mudstone clasts. The upper interval (2.7510 m) is composed of a lower part (2.757 m) with basal inverse grading and armored mudstone balls with 3 mm quartz granules, and normal grading, and an upper part (710 m) with a complex alternation of parallel laminae, double mud layers, mud draped ripples, parallel laminae, ripple laminae, parallel laminae, contorted laminae, and ripple laminae. Note abrupt decrease in grain size at 2, 2.2, and 8.4 m, and change in sedimentary structures at 7 m. These planes represent amalgamation surfaces within the unit. (B) Outcrop photograph of Unit 2 showing a hollow created by weathering away of a mudstone clast in medium- to coarse- grade sandstone. Note quartzose granules at the outer rim of the hollow. Arrow shows stratigraphic position of photo. Annot Sandstone (Eocene-Oligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.15. (A) Sedimentological log of Annot Unit 2. (B) Two alternative interpretations of field description. (1) By using Bouma divisions, the upper part could be interpreted as turbidites. (2) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of plastic flows or bottom current reworking. Plastic flows represent sandy debris flows. Annot Sandstone (EoceneOligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.16. (A) Sedimentological log of amalgamated sandstone Unit 7. (B) Outcrop photograph showing hollows created by weathering out of floating mudstone clasts. Note random orientation of mudstone clasts. Note floating quartzose granules in medium- to- coarse grade sandstone. Photo taken at about 2 m stratigraphic position in Unit 7 (arrow). Annot Sandstone (EoceneOligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.17. (A) Field description of amalgamated Unit 7. (B) Three alternative interpretations of field description. (1) By using Bouma (1962) divisions, the entire unit could be interpreted as turbidites. (2) Bouma and Coleman (1985) interpreted this unit as lateral accretionary channel-fill turbidites and associated overbank turbidites. See text for discussion on problems with this interpretation. (3) By not using Bouma divisions (this book), each layer of the unit is interpreted individually either as deposits of plastic flows or bottom currents. Plastic flows represent sandy debris flows in this case. Annot Sandstone (EoceneOligocene), Peira Cava area, French Maritime Alps. SE France. Fig. 8.18. Top: Schematic diagram showing development of simple normal grading by suspension settling from a turbulent turbidity current. Bottom: Schematic diagram showing development of inverse- to-normal grading by partial flow transformation with freezing and late-stage hindered settling from a laminar debris flow. See text for details. (After Shanmugam (2000a). Reproduced with permission from Elsevier.) Fig. 8.19. Conceptual model showing reworking the tops of downslope sandy debris flows by along-slope bottom currents. Such complex deposits would generate a sandy unit with a basal massive division and upper reworked divisions with traction structures (ripple laminae), mimicking the Bouma Sequence. Fig. 8.20. Existing vertical facies models of (1) coarse-grained turbidites (Lowe, 1982), (2) classic turbidites (also known as the Bouma Sequence), and (3) fine- grained turbidites (Stow and Shanmugam, 1980). Correlation of the S3 division of coarse-grained turbidites with the Ta division of the Bouma Sequence is after Lowe (1982). Correlation of various divisions between classic turbidites and fine-grained turbidites is after Pickering et al. (1989). (After Shanmugam (2000a). Reprinted with permission from Elsevier.) Fig. 8.21. A schematic diagram showing downslope changes in turbidite divisions from coarse-grained turbidites (Lowe, 1982), through classic turbidites (Bouma, 1962), to fine-grained turbidites (Stow and Shanmugam, 1980). If existing turbidite facies models were realistic, then an ideal turbidite bed should develop 16 divisions. However, no one has ever documented such a turbidite bed with 16 divisions in the field or in flume experiments. (After Shanmugam (2000a). Reproduced with permission from Elsevier.)
