Schematic depositional model of deepwater turbidite lobe and representative field-photos. a Photos showing a cross-section at channel-mouth, megaflutes erode into substrate and are covered by water. A high degree of sandstone amalgamation is inferred since single thick sandstone bed laterally transits into several thinner beds. Dashed lines in the log show amalgamation surfaces; b Schematic depositional model of a deepwater turbidite lobe, along transport direction, with representative photos showing cross-sections at c Proximal; d Medial; and, e Distal part
