| Turbidite deposits and westward younging of limestones and evaporites record the development of the foreland fold and thrust belt during the Late Carboniferous Epoch. |
| Discoveries to date are stratigraphic traps comprising Turonian and Campanian turbidite fans drilled in water depths of 500-2,500 metres. |
| Most coarse-grained clastic sediment that is deposited in turbidite basins is either derived from alluvial basins or shallow marine shelves. |
| Dominant geologies within the RUB include basalt, scoria and tuff, conglomerate, mudstone, sandstone, turbidite, and unknown or manmade landfill. |
| Greywacke is an old term still sometimes used for a particular type of wacke especially in grey-coloured turbidite sequences. |
| Both turbidite units are sand rich, and typically interpreted as the deposits of high-density turbidity currents. |
