Catastrophic remobilization of shelf sediments into deep-marine settings: high-resolution stratigraphic studies of Miocene megabeds in the Cilento Group, Southern Apennines, Italy Open
Mass transport deposits (MTDs) play a crucial role in source-to-sink systems. They document the rapid, en-masse transport and burial of large volumes of sediments and organic matter from shallow-marine to deep-marine environments. Understa…
