DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2020.106372
Abstract: Abstract The upper continental slope offshore Capo Vaticano (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) is characterized by a contourite depositional system with well-developed elongated sediment drifts. This system is related to a northward paleo-bottom current, similar to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2021.106596
Abstract: Abstract A better understanding of the evolution of bottom current circulation and associated deposits is significant for many applications including paleoclimatology and geological hazard. Besides the large contourite drifts, bottom currents may generate fields of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.109233
Abstract: Abstract Infilling of trace fossils can serve as a proxy for sediment otherwise missing from basin deposits. The Petra Tou Romiou section (southern Cyprus) includes calcilutite/calcarenite material that represents deep-marine deposits of Eocene age. Lateral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-54246-3
Abstract: Although bioturbation is commonly recognized in contourites, only a few studies have analyzed the ichnological content of these deposits in detail. These studies have mainly focused on meso-scale bigradational sequence (a coarsening upward followed by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/sed.12764
Abstract: Reported ancient bottom current deposits in deep marine settings are scarce and most of them remain contentious. This study describes sedimentological, ichnological and petrographical characteristics of a drill core that covers ca 10 Myr of… read more here.
