Aspects of Bed Thickness in Some Eocene Turbidite Sequences, Spanish Pyrenees

In a reconnaissance study of some turbidite sequences, it has been found that the thicknesses of the sandstones are positively correlated with those of the overlying shales but not with the thicknesses of the underlying shales. This is tentatively explained by assuming that at least the major part of a shale was deposited from the same turbidity current which formed the underlying sandstone.
