“Sandy Debris Flow = A Flow Type (This Study) B,Behaver C. Sale 0, Cpentonat ‘(Posma ot, 1888) ‘An experimental view of ‘high-density turbidity currents by Postma etal. (1988) who suggested that the basal high-concentration layer (labeled as sandy debris flow) was driven by the upper low-concentration layer (labeled as turbidity current). According to Postma eta. (1988). both Upper and lower layers comprise the “high-density turbidity currents". [consider upper and lower layers ax theologically different enttics and therefore separate flow processes (see Shanmugam, 19963) (B) According to Postma et al (1988), lower and upper layers represent non-Newtonian and [Newtonian cheology, respectively. (C) According to Postma et al (1988), lower and upper layers represent laminar and turbulent sates, respectively. ‘The basal laminar layer (ce , sandy debris low) is variously termed as inertia-low layer, traction carpe, flowing-grain layer ete by various authors (Gee Shanmugam, 1996). The hasaLlaves with high ediment concentration promotes hindered settling, and allows development of floating mudsione clasts and quartz granules. (D) Interpretation of Postma etal. (1988). Because sedimentgravity flows are classified on the basis of rheology and int-support mechanism (Lowe, 1982), a single flow (high-density turbidity current) cannot be both Newtonian and non-Newtoni jnae and turbulent in state atthe same time. Ths type represents gravity flow transformation of Fisher (1983). From Shanmugam sei theology, and (19978).

Bouma divisions A, B, C, and D are labeled in the size-velocity diagram for fine-grained sand for discussion purposes. Note that dunes and in-phase waves (antidunes) observed in flume experiments are absent in the Bouma Sequence. Also note that the basal normally graded division ofthe Bouma Sequence is absent in lume strctures, Published size-velocty diagram of experimental structures by Southard (1975) is flipped vertically in order to make an easy comparison withthe Bouma Sequence.

Lines without arrows (i.e., 1-2, 1—3) connect members between which there probably exists a continuous spectrum of flow and types of deposits, but which is not part of an evolutionary ‘trend of single flows. Arrows connect members which may be part of an evolutionary continuum for individual flows. The transition from disorganized cohesive flows (1 and 3) to thick, inversely graded density-modified grain flows and traction carpets (5), and to turbulent gravelly high-density turbidity currents (6) is speculative, Redrawn from Lowe (1982).
