Soft-Sediment Deformation Structures Interpreted as Seismites in the Kolankaya Formation, Denizli Basin (SW Turkey)

Figure 3

(a) Widely observed load structure seen in the study area and mainly formed in calcarenite and sands (37.770 N, 29.146 E). (b) This structure which is formed in fine and coarse-grained sand and named by Alfaro et al. [40] similar to drop structures. About 40 cm of material sunk into coarse-grained sand with detachment occurring in a later deformation phase (37.795 N, 29.154 E). (c) Load and flame structures observed in 15 cm thick mudstones in sand (37.773 N, 29.157 E).
