SUMMARY Some results of turbidity‐current theory are applied to analyses of turbidite layers in cores from the route of a large turbidity current of sheet‐flow type. Novel features are that current velocity is estimated from the sediment sizes deposited, and the lateral spreading of the current is considered. An approximate quantitative picture of the current is obtained. It is compared with the turbidity current which caused the Grand Banks cable breaks.
