Figure F9. Diagram of terminology for depth zones along a shoreface–offshore transect in a wave-dominated linear clastic sedimentary setting used during Expedition 313. Shoreface, shoreface–offshore transition, and offshore are terms used in this report; terms listed as 1 to 5 represent complementary or alternative schemes (1) based on biofacies or (2–5) drawn from the sedimentology literature. 1 = depth-related biofacies (Van Morkhoven et al., 1986); 2 = Walker and Plint (1992), Howell and Flint (2003); 3 = Browning et al. (2006); 4 = Ando (1990); 5 = Einsele (2000). HCS = hummocky cross stratification, vf-f = very fine–fine. Water depths are indicative and vary between locations (e.g., because of local wave climate and extreme events).
