Normark, William R.; Gutmacher, Christina E. (1984):
Delgada Fan; preliminary interpretation of channel development. A.M. Dowden, Inc., Stroudsburg, PA, International, Geo-Marine Letters, 3 (2-4), 79-83, georefid:1985-009012
Abstract:
The Delgada Fan, an irregularly shaped turbidite deposit extending more than 350 km offshore from northern California, consists of two large leveed-valley units each fed by a separate complex of coalescing submarine canyons and slope gullies. Although the leveed-valley units head within 25 km of each other, both appear to have developed independently during fan growth. The larger southern leveed-valley system has not developed middle-fan distributary channels and appears to illustrate a period of progressive valley abandonment.
