The genesis of a giant mud canopy by catastrophic failure of a thick evaporite sealing layer
Three-dimensional seismic imaging and well calibration reveal a large allochthonous mud edifice that is composed of several mud extrusions and covers an area >740 km2 on the outer shelf slope of the Nile Delta. The allochthonous material was sourced from beneath the ∼1-km-thick Messinian evaporit...
