Original classification of sediment-gravity flows by Middleton and Hampton (1973). Confusing application of the term “turbidites” to deposits of all four types by Mutti et al. (1999), without regard for fluid mechanics. I have adopted Sanders’ (1965) classification in which only deposits of turbidity currents are considered as turbidites. From Shanmugam (2002).
