High-resolution seismic record run across an active growth fault seaward of the mouth of South Pass, Mississippi River delta. A. Seismic line showing active growth fault seaward of a large upslope mudflow. Note the increased thickness of sediment on the downthrown side of the fault. Horizontal scale is 300 m between shot points and vertical scale is 25 milliseconds per time line, or 19 m (62.5 ft). B. Detailed subbottom seismic record run across an active growth fault. Note the presence of a rollover structure and the increased accumulation of sedimentation on the downthrown side of the fault. Horizontal scale is 300 m between shot points and vertical scale is 10 milliseconds per time line, or 7.6 m (25 ft). Coleman, J. M., and D. B. Prior, 1981, Deltaic environments of deposition in P. A.
