... to no bioturbation, fine laminations, suspension with traction deposition, lower Ca-calcite, increased terrigenous elements (Al, Fe), low Vp, E, HLD, and ductile. Zone 3: high BI, dominated by bioturbation and traction depositional processes, low Ca-calcite, increased terrigenous-associated elements, low TOC, and Mo...

... event beds that entered the basin from numerous sediment entry points. The multiple depositional processes have resulted in the complex vertical arrangement of interbedded carbonate debris flow deposits, high and low-density carbonate and siliciclastic turbidites, hybrid event beds, dilute turbulent...

... whereby organic matter can be lost by oxidation or predation. Depositional processes (tractional vs. turbid vs. debritic vs. hemipelagic) are also controls on the bounding limits of organic-richness of sediments. Here we examine a core taken through the Sakmarian to Artinskian (Wolfcampian/Leonardian...
