Figure 2.8: Bedsets on the channel margins are made up of thin bedded, finer grained low
density/concentration turbidite deposits. Bedsets in the channel axis are made up of
coarse grained high density/concentration turbidites. Together these facies associations
form an entire channel fill sequence. The channel and channel margin/levee elements
form channel complexes and channel complex sets. (Campion, 2000, Sprague et al.,
2003; Abreu et al., 2003). Oversized Plate (11x17) requires plotter or printer with tabloid

Figure 2.9: Two or more stacked channel elements form a channel complex and two or
more stacked channel complexes are called channel complex sets.(Campion, 2000;
Sprague et al., 2002; Abreu et al., 2003). Oversized Plate (11x17) requires plotter or
printer with tabloid printing.............................................................................................. 77
