Generalized Facies Models for Resedimented Conglomerates of Turbidite Association

Three models of resedimented (deep-water turbidite association) conglomerates are proposed, based on published data and on new observations in California. The descriptive features that contribute to the models are the presence or absence of a preferred clast fabric, stratification, and inverse and (or) normal graded bedding. The first model is inverse-to-normally graded, characterized by the presence of both inverse and normal grading and the …
