Summary
Outcrop of main turbidite member of Minturn Formation. Note monotonous, continuous bedding, characteristic of turbidite outcrops.
TURBIDITES are deposits of sediment density flows that are, in the geologic record, identified by the characteristic Bouma (1962) sequence of sedimentary structures. Turbidites indicate a mechanism of deposition, not a depositional environment. Although geologists commonly associate them with deep-marine sediments, turbidites have been described from a wide range of depositional environments, ranging from glacial lake sediments to the prodelta sandstones of the Cretaceous epicontinental seaway of western North America. The Minturn turbidites of the Sangre de Cristo Range are prodelta or delta-front deposits. Most features of Minturn turbidites can be viewed in this excellent exposure.
