Alluvial fans in the latest phase of the Messinian Salinity Crisis: An example from the Chaabet Et Tabbela Formation, northern Tunisia, Central Mediterranean
2022, Sedimentary GeologyCitation Excerpt :The association also yields minor amounts of crude horizontal stratification and imbricated facies (Gh), crudely inverse grading (Gci) (Fig. 5 E), minor sandstone (Sm) and mudstone (Fm) lenses are interbedded between the thick conglomerate beds. FA1 is interpreted to represent accumulated rock avalanche and debris flow deposits in the proximal part of the alluvial fan (Hooke, 1967; Larsen and Steel, 1978; Nemec and Steel, 1984; Dec, 1992; Miall, 1996; Blair and McPherson, 1998; Blair, 1999a; Sohn et al., 1999; Suresh et al., 2007; Haas et al., 2014). The texturally immature, angular and subangular, polymictic conglomerate indicates rapid transport and deposition by high-energy gravity-driven flows in proximity to the sediment source area.
Permafrost as the main factor controlling the fluvial sedimentation style on glaciomarginal fans
2021, Sedimentary GeologyCitation Excerpt :These conditions (transitional to plane bed) resulted in a lowering of the bar and the gentle inclination of the bar slip face, as recorded by the thinner Sl lithofacies and the lower inclination (<15°) of the cross stratification. Similar rhythms have been noted by Dec (1992) and interpreted as representing sheetfloods. Two main types of structures, derived from in-channel flows, can be observed in both study sites: trough cross-stratified lithofacies and single channels (called channels) cut within horizontally-stratified and massive sediments (Fig. 6).
