The dark terrigenous layers are related to the amount of precipitation that falls in a given year during the rainy winter months. |
The higher levels may be affected by terrigenous additions linked to continental gully erosion, especially after big fires. |
Those terrigenous sediments occur mostly on the continental shelves, slopes, and rises, and they merge into abyssal plains. |
These widespread deposits included both terrigenous clastics and limestones. |
In addition, intercalated terrigenous turbidites exhibit considerable lateral variation in bed thickness. |
The specimen was buried by a rapid influx of terrigenous mud. |
