(a) How a turbidity current forms in the oceans. These currents can erode and transport large quantities of sand down the continental slope. Submarine canyons are deep valleys eroded into the continental shelf and slope by turbidity currents.

Sequence StratigraphySequence Stratigraphy
Until a few decades ago, geologists had to rely on rock outcrops or by drilling to map stratigraphic successions.
Technological advancement in seismology now allow u s to see below Earth’s surface without actually going there.
From seismic data, we can construct three-dimension al images of deeply buried structures.
Basic geologic unit observed bounded by unconformit ies is a sedimentary sequence.
This type of detailed geologic mapping is called sequence stratigraphy.

In this example, sediment is laid down in a delta. As the sediment builds up the seafloor to sea level, the delta advances toward the sea.When the sea level falls, the deltaic deposits are exposed to erosion.The shoreline shifts inland when the sea level rises again, and a new deltaic sequence begins to cover the old one, creating an unconformity.

Over millions of years, this cycle may be repeated many times, producing a complex set of sedimentary sequences.Because sea level fluctuations are worldwide, we can match sedimentary sequences of the same age overwide areas (see next slide ).

1. The reconstruction of paleodepositional environm ents via facies analysis is an important pre-requisite for sequence stratigraphic interpretations. The nature of stratigraphic contacts (scoured, conformable) also needs to be assessed via sedimentological analysis .

2. The sequence stratigraphic framework is constructed by correlating the key sequence stratigraphic surfaces . All sequence stratigraphic surfaces shown on the cross section are good chronostratigraphic markers (low diachroneity), wit h the exception of the transgressive wave -ravinement surface which is highly diachronous.

4. Lithostratigraphic cross-section. Three main lit hostratigraphic units (e.g., formations) may be defined: A—a sandstone-dominated unit; B and C – m udstone-dominated units, with silty and sandy interbeds. Formations B and C are separat ed by Formation A. Additional lithostratigraphic units (e.g., members—subdivisions of units A, B, C) may be defined as a function of variations in lithology and colour.

MAIN FEATURES of sedimentary rocks that can be observed directly in the field are:
�Bedding – including thickness, geometry, nature of bed boundaries, dip and strike of the beds, and way-up criteria.
�Sedimentary structures – including erosional, depositional, deformational, biogenic and chemogenic.
�Textures – including grain size, sorting, grading, porosity-
SummarySummary

�Textures – including grain size, sorting, grading, porosity-permeability, grain morphology, grain surface texture, and sediment fabric.
�Composition – including clast types, mineralogy and fossil content.�Colour – distinguishing between weathered and fresh surfaces.
Collectively, these attributes are used to define a sediment facies or lithofacies (lithotype) or, simply, facies .
Slide 17
Sokari BraideFacies AnalysisFacies Analysis
A sediment facies is defined as (or sedimentary rock) that displays distinctive physical, chemical and / or biological characteristics (of the sort listed above) that make it readily distinguish ed from the associated facies.
These are the primary building blocks of all sedime ntological studies.
They are used as a means of recording data, for describing sediment

They are used as a means of recording data, for describing sediment outcrops and successions and, subsequently, for making interpretations concerning, for example, depositional processes, environmental conditions or economic significance.
In ancient deposits the vertical sequence of facies is generally much easier to observe than the lateral sequence, a circumstance that is the exact opposite of the situation in modern sediments.
Slide 18
Sokari BraideFacies AnalysisFacies AnalysisIn attempting to reconstruct environments from facies, therefore, geologists have often been guided by Johannes Walter’s Law of Succession of Facies = “facies sequences observed vertically are also found laterally”

Law of Succession of Facies
Sedimentary facies is defined as any areally restricted part of a designated stratigraphic unit which exhibits characters significantly different from those of other parts of the unit.
