Sedimentary facies of the Cretaceous Izumi turbidite system, southwest Japan: an example of turbidite sedimentation in an elongated strike-slip tectonic basin

Abstract

The resultant basin-fill is represented by eastward-younging, thick succession. The Group consists basically of stacks of depositional mega-units. Facies associations indicate that the deposits of the mega-unit are organized into the depositional system which consists of main channel (with over-spilled deposits), distributary channel and sheet-flows. -from Author
