Bouma, Arnold H.; Stelting, Charles E.; Coleman, James M. (1984): Mississippi Fan; internal structure and depositional processes. A.M. Dowden, Inc., Stroudsburg, PA, International, Geo-Marine Letters, 3 (2-4), 147-153, georefid:1985-009021

Abstract:
The Mississippi Fan is a Quaternary accumulation composed of more than seven elongated fan lobes. Isopach and structure maps show frequent lobe shifting. The Mississippi Canyon, formed by retogressive slumping, connects to the youngest fan lobe. The upper fan-lobe is characterized by a large, incised, partially infilled, leveed channel. The middle fan-lobe is aggradational, convex in cross section, with a channel-levee complex on its apex. The lower fan-lobe contains a recently active small channel and several abandoned ones. Depositional patterns can be explained by several processes: "fluvial," debris flows, and turbidity currents.
