Structural approaches to interpret depositional shear in turbidites

Part of The Shear Zone Channel. Turbidite sandstones can contain spectacular structures associated with their deposition. By applying concepts of structural geology (including analysis of synkinematic strata), it's possible to build stories of how turbidity currents shear the sea-bed that they transit. The video follows Rob in an investigation of some stunning outcrops from the Tuscany coast of Italy. Find out more from this: https://www.lyellcollection.org/doi/f...
