- W2024694523 abstract "Along the northwestern margin of the Great Bahama Bank (Bahamas), high-resolution multibeam bathymetry maps have revealed large escarpments, 80–100 m in height, and gigantic carbonate Mass Transport Complexes (MTCs), characterized by megablocks, several hundred to several thousand meters in size. The present-day configuration of this mass-wasting deposit is the result of the specific basinal sedimentation of the GBB during the Neogene. Marginal sedimentation was produced by: (i) massive gravity-flow slope apron carbonates, feeding from the eastern prograding platform, including oversized MTCs; and (ii) thick, elongated, and muddier drift contourite flowing from south to north along the toe of slope. Four distinct MTCs (MTC-1 to -4) resulted from repeated slope failures in the Late Pliocene and the Pleistocene. These MTCs all glided along a common privileged décollement surface, dated Late Messinian–Early Pliocene, which coincided with a regional diagenetic key stratigraphic surface. The MTCs collapsed down from the steep mid- to upper-slope apron, partially draped the drift deposits, and flowed basinward over 10–20 km, extending over an area of approximately 400 km2. With the support of good-quality seismic reflection data, a detailed analysis was produced of the stratigraphic architecture of these MTCs, highlighting the high variability of the seismic facies from tabular bounded strata to chaotic patterns. The analysis of the facies demonstrated the internal stratigraphic complexity of the MTCs as well as that of the subsequent filling of the associated headwall scar-related depressions. A depositional reconstitution of the MTCs is proposed from collapse initiation to final deposition, resulting in the present-day irregular seafloor morphology. The model accounts for the influence of the Early Pliocene drift-induced topography on the distribution and internal architecture of the successive MTCs. Most likely due to sedimentation rate increase, the contourite displayed lateral morphological variations, forming flat to mound-shaped features when upslope collapses occurred. Depending on lee-side steepness, it then acted either as secondary décollement ramp or as natural obstacle for mass-wasting deposits. Strips of sharply-bounded chaotic facies preserved within the Pliocene contourite are interpreted as far-reaching fluid escape-related facies (thixotropy), resulting from frontal impact with the contourite at the toe of the MTCs. The MTCs are not unique mass-wasting carbonate deposits, as similar features with comparable dimensions have been reported in the geological record in the Bahamas and in other carbonate basins. However, they clearly illustrate a significant volume of sediment remobilization over short distances in carbonate slope environments." @default.
