Vittori (Total) SUMMARY Mass Transport Complexes (MTC) have been the subject of recent investigations due to their widespread occurrence in deep-water prospective series (e.g. Moscardelli et al. 2006). Recent seismic studies both 3D and 2D in the deep Gulf of Mexico raise the issue of the lithological (reservoir) continuity in MTCs. Small mass transport deposits can commonly be described using a threefold
