Contourite Sedimentary Processes

Contourite Sedimentary Processes is a sedimentary process characterized by the deposition, reworking, and transport of terrigenous and biogenic particles under the persistent influence of deepwater bottom currents along continental slopes and ocean basins, distinguishing it from processes driven primarily by turbidity flows or glacial activity.
