Turbidite sedimentation occurs in different tectonic contexts, although the major fossil record
of these deposits is preserved in the foreland basin systems (Fig. 1). In such type of basins
turbidite deposits coexist at different depth being located either in the more deeper portions
(foredeep turbidite systems) or in the relatively shallower tectonically confined depressions
occurring on top of the thrust belt (wedge-top turbidite systems)(see discussion in Mutti et al.
2002, 2003). e possibility to find both preserved and superimposed one to each other …
