Diagram showing the evolution of subaerial derived hyperconcentrated flows when entering a marine or lacustrine basin. Only the deposit (Facies F2-F3) 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 1992
