Arquitetura sedimentar do sistema turbidítico pliocênico do Golfo de Lion, Mediterrâneo Ocidental

The Gulf of Lion located in the Western Mediterranean has in its basin important deep water turbidity complexes, like the Rhône Deep-Sea Fan. During the Pliocene, the feeder system of this fan would have been constituted by multiple canyons; while in the Quaternary, the feeder system would have converged for a single canyon - the Petit-Rhône Canyon. However, the analysis of an isopac map of the Pliocene suggested that the pliocene sequence converges for two principal canyons - the Marti and the Petit-Rhône Canyon.
