Figure F12. Sparker seismic reflection profile (Line FADO L-38) across the Faro Drift on the middle slope showing location of Site U1386 (Stow et al., 2011). 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. Names for seismic horizons after Llave et al. (2011) and Stow et al. (2011). BQD = base Quaternary discontinuity, LPR = intra-lower Pliocene discontinuity, M = late Miocene discontinuity.
