Abstract
SUMMARY: A study of six gravity cores from an abyssal plain at the western side of the Madeira‐Cape Verde Basin shows that individual turbidites can extend over a distance of at least 35 miles (65 km) in this area of final turbidity current deposition. Cores from the continental rise include relatively thinner turbidites; evidence from one of these indicates some local erosion of the sea floor: this apparently did not exceed 15 cm (as represented in the core).Keywords
