Figure 3. Basic conceptual diagram for facies analysis of hyperpycnal deposits with associated bedload in marine settings. Facies B include all those facies related to bedload processes developed at the base of an overpassing long-lived turbulent flow. Facies S correspond to the gravitational collapse of sand-sized materials transported in suspension by the turbulent flow (suspended load facies). Facies L are related to the fallout of fine grained materials lifted-up by the interstitial freshwater contained in the flow once it lost part of the sand-sized suspended load. After Zavala et al.
