similar to turbidites. Turbidites in sediments can occur in carbonate as well as siliciclastic sequences. Classic, low-density turbidites are characterized

Expedition (NZGSAE) (1964–65). It was named after sedimentary features, called turbidites, which were reportedly found in sedimentary rocks of the Beacon Supergroup

such as Great Bahama Canyon with the evidence of turbidity currents and turbidite deposition. The stratigraphy of the islands consists of the Middle Pleistocene

rocks. Turbidites were first recognised in the 1950s  and the first facies model was developed by Bouma in 1962. Since that time, turbidites have been

They did this to emphasise the difference between these deposits and turbidites in order to explain the ubiquitous smoothness and lack of irregularities

and paleocurrent indicators. Sole markings are found most commonly in turbidite deposits, but are also often seen in modern river beds and tidal channels
