Fig. 12

a Revised contourite facies model with five divisions (C1–C5) proposed by Stow and Faugères (2008); b Original contourite facies model by Gonthier et al. (1984). Note that the original authors of this model did not include the five internal divisions (Gonthier et al. 1984 or Faugères et al. (1984). The most recent version of this model by Faugères and Mulder (2011) contains neither the five internal divisions nor the hiatuses in the C3 division (red arrow inserted in this article). This figure was originally from Faugères et al. (1984), with permission from the Geological Society of America. Note that the ascending five divisions C1 to C5 in Fig. 12a were inadvertently listed in descending order in Shanmugam (2021a, his Fig. 8.17).
