“…Consequently, characterizing volcanicturbidite systems and establishing associated sedimentary models are important steps for preserving a relatively continuous and complete account of deposition over time and understanding the gravity flow deposit process within an arc system (e.g., Dodd et al, 2020). However, only a few examples of such systems have been reported, including the Oligocene Izu-Bonin Basin, Japan (Hiscott et al, 1992(Hiscott et al, , 1993; the Mesozoic Fossil Bluff and LeMay groups on Alexander Island, Antarctica (Doubleday et al, 1993); the Upper Cretaceous-lower Eocene Xigaze Basin, Tibet (Orme et al, 2015); the Val d'Aveto Formation and Taveyanne Sandstones of the Alps and the Apennines of central Europe (Di Capua and Groppelli, 2018); the Triassic Pulau Ayer Chawan Formation in Singapore (Dodd et al, 2020); the Permian Zhesi and Dashizhai formations in the Mandula Basin (Shi et al, 2020); and the Tufiti di Tusa Formation in Italy (Gallicchio et al, 2023). Compared with conventional deep-water deposits, research on volcanic-turbidite systems remains limited and the coupling relationship between them requires further discussion.…”

“…In recent decades, research on the impact of volcanism on deep-water deposits has blossomed, becoming a focus for both the scientific community and the oil industry (Hiscott et al, 1992(Hiscott et al, , 1993Doubleday et al, 1993;Lirer et al, 2001;Manville et al, 2009;Orme et al, 2015;Tinterri and Tagliaferri, 2015;Di Capua and Groppelli, 2016a, b;Di Capua et al, 2016Gillespie et al, 2019;Dodd et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020;Gallicchio et al, 2023;Yong et al, 2023). Volcanism causes changes in the topography and sediment supply of forearc or back-arc basins, especially in arc systems (Tinterri and Tagliaferri, 2015;Dodd et al, 2020;Gallicchio et al, 2023), as well as complicating the deep-water deposits in the basin, through the input of pyroclastic rocks and particles from other different lithologies from terrains surrounding the volcano (Hiscott et al, 1992(Hiscott et al, , 1993Kimbrough et al, 2001;Di Capua and Groppelli, 2018;Dodd et al, 2020;Gallicchio et al, 2023).…”

Deep‐water gravity depositional processes and evolution in arc systems have become hot research topics in recent years. This study discusses the co‐evolution of volcanism and deep‐water gravity flow deposits at the southern margin of the Junggar Basin based on petrology, geochronology, and geochemistry analyses. The results showed that a massive collapse of unstable sediments from the slope was triggered by volcanism, resulting in the formation of slumping gravity flows. The occurrence of volcanic beds in the slump deposits confirmed that synchronous volcanism likely affected sediment instability and triggered gravity flows. The Th/Yb, Ta/Yb, and Th/Ta elemental ratios, U‐Pb ages of detrital zircons, and palaeocurrent directions indicated that the North Tianshan (NTS) island arc represented the provenance of the Qianxia Formation. Moreover, statistical data on the pyroclastic components in the gravity flow deposits revealed an intensity index of volcanism, which indicated that volcanism is strongly related to gravity flow deposits, especially in terms of the type and distribution of deposits. A model for volcanically triggered deep‐water gravity flow deposits was established to provide a more in‐depth understanding of the co‐evolution of volcanism and gravity flow deposits and depositional setting of the Late Palaeozoic NTS oceanic subduction margin in the Junggar Basin.

Facies Heterogeneity and Lobe Facies Multiscale Analysis of Deep-Marine Sand-Shale Complexity in the West Crocker Formation of Sabah Basin, NW Borneo

Deepwater lobes constitute a significant volume of submarine fans and are primarily believed to exhibit a simple sheet geometry. However, recent studies interpret the geometries of these deep-marine lobes as distinct with respect to the complexity of the facies and their distribution. Hence, a conceptual model of deep-marine sediments is essential to discuss the deep-marine sediments associated with the fan and lobe architecture. The present study highlights the facies heterogeneity and distribution of various lobe elements at a multiscale level by considering a case study of the West Crocker Formation of Sabah in northwest Borneo. The formation was logged on a bed-to-bed scale from recently well-exposed sections, with a total vertical thickness of more than 300 m. The lithological characteristics, bed geometry, sedimentary textures and structures of individual beds were used to categorize the rock units into nine sedimentary lithofacies: five sandstone lithofacies (S1–S5), one hybrid bed facies (H), two siltstone facies (Si1 and Si2) and one shale or mudstone facies (M). These facies were grouped into four facies associations (FA1–FA4), which were interpreted as lobe axis (FA1), lobe off-axis (FA2), lobe fringe (FA3) and distal fringe to interlobe (FA4) facies associations. This study is applicable for the distribution of lobes and their subseismic, multiscale complexities to characterize the potential of hydrocarbon intervals in deep-marine sand-shale system around the globe.
