Figure F11. A. Seismic cross-section A–A'. B. Interpreted cross-section A–A'. The sand-prone Blue Unit has been incised by a channel-levee complex and then overlain by a thick and heavily slumped hemipelagic mudstone wedge that thickens to the west (left). The Blue Unit sands are correlated to a distinct seismic facies. The thickness of the hemipelagic mudstone above the Blue Unit does not change significantly in the north-south direction.
