These features are deposits of contourites, condensations, and surfaces of nondeposition or erosion with paraconformity or erosional disconformity, all common occurrences beneath modern ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream. A paleogeographic reconstruction for the Middle Devonian is used to show how the interdependence of continental arrangement, latitudinal position, and ocean-current activity on the margin can reconcile apparently conflicting stratigraphic and sedimentological features.
