Exceptional preservation of three-dimensional dunes on an ancient deep-marine seafloor: implications for sedimentary processes and depositional environments

Depositional and erosional bedforms can be used to reconstruct sedimentary processes and aid palaeoenvironmental interpretations. Using exhumed deep-marine strata in the Eocene Aínsa Basin, Spain, we document a 3-dimensional package of dunes, a rarely identified bedform in deep-marine environments. Our analysis shows that the dunes have curvilinear crests in planform, with smaller superimposed oblique dunes […]

Unidirectional and combined transitional flow bedrooms: Implications for process and distribution in submarine slope settings

Mixed grain‐size bedforms comprise alternating sand‐rich and poorly sorted mud‐rich laminae and bands. These bedforms have been identified in distal submarine settings formed underneath unidirectional flows. This study documents mixed grain‐size bedforms in a proximal submarine slope setting formed beneath both unidirectional and combined flows. Core and outcrop data with well‐constrained palaeogeographical context are used
