文摘
- •
Two distinct types of mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are presented for a salt minibasin.
- •
Type 1 MTDs have higher, less complex internal deformation.
- •
Type 2 MTDs are characterised by low deformation translational slabs.
- •
Headwall length/distance-to-toe ratios distinguish the MTD types.
- •
MTDs are used to locate discrete halokinetic pulses along salt ridges.
