Core photographs of subaqueous slump deposits. Diameter of cores A, B, and E is 13 cm (5 in.) and of cores C and D 8 cm (3 in.). A. X-ray radiograph of highly distorted clay layers in marine deposits beneath the slump block. B. X-ray radiograph of multiple fracturing in clays in the shear plane zone. C. X-ray radiograph of silt and sand core in the slump block. Note that bedding is preserved with only minor fracturing but is tilted at angles of 20 to 30°. D. X-ray radiograph of disturbed structures in mudflow deposit that caps a slump block. E. X-ray radiograph of core in normally deposited marine clays, which often cap the slump deposits. ote the lack of disturbance in these deposits. Coleman, J. M., and D. B.
