| The late Holocene mud wedge on the Adriatic shelf offshore Ortona, Italy, shows undulating sub-parallel seismic reflector sequences which extend several kilometres along strike and 100200 m down-dip in water depth between 20 and 80 m. The amplitude of such undulations is up to 5 m and the undulations continue as stacked sediment packages downwards throughout the 35 m thick mud wedge. The undulations are separated by 4° to 5° dipping boundary zones and at first glance these sediment undulations resemble the seafloor sedimentary structures visible in the Humboldt Feature offshore California. There is an ongoing debate whether seafloor undulations are the result of deformation processes or sediment deposition and/or reworking due to submarine shelf currents.... |
