Fig. 5From: Hyperpycnal (over density) flows and depositsDiagram showing the evolution of subaerial cohesive debris flows when entering a marine or lacustrine basin. Only the deposit (F1 facies) accumulated from the original flow can eventually display diagnostic characteristics of a hyperpycnal origin, since light extrabasinal materials will be lost during water entrainment and flow transformation. Facies classification is after Mutti 1992Back to article page
