Figure F12. Sparker seismic reflection profile (Line FADO L-38) across the Faro Drift on the middle slope showing location of Site U1386. An important change in the overall architectural stacking of the mounded contourite deposits from a more aggrading depositional sequence to a clear progradational body is associated to the mid-Pleistocene revolution (MPR) discontinuity. BQD = base Quaternary discontinuity, LPR = intra-lower Pliocene discontinuity, M = late Miocene discontinuity.
