Turbidites are the preserved products of turbidity flows. Turbidity flows have 3 main components: a high energy head that does most of the erosion, a body that carries the majority of the sediment and can erode and deposit as well. and finally, the low energy tail that deposits the last of the suspended sediment. There are two main types of turbidites: high and low density. Low-density turbidites are distinguished by thinner beds, finer grains, and well-developed traction structures that show a shift from high to low energy upwards. High-density turbidites have thicker beds, are coarser-grained and are usually structureless. The turbidites are deposited when the flow loses energy and the coarser grains settle out first followed by the fine grains, reflecting the gradual decrease in energy. The Bouma sequence describes the ideal succession left behind by a turbidity current and can be seen in these samples. First, sand (light-coloured grains) is deposited, followed by silt and sand, then mud (darker grains). This can also commonly be described as a fining-upward graded sequence. Environments prone to turbidity flows will commonly show repetition of this sequence, also being an indicator of relative time of deposition between turbidity flow events.
