Types of land-generated sediment-laden turbulent flows and resulting hyperpycnal flows and facies. a Pebbly SLTF, with extrabasinal-derived bedload common in proximal zones characterized by high shear forces; b Sandy SLTF. Bedload (if present) is composed of intrabasinal components like clay clasts; c Muddy SLTF. Due to the excess of density provided by the silt/clay suspension, the flow will be always attached to the basin bottom until the final deposition, and consequently lofting is not possible.
