Also, Google Scholar for research articles.

Im Muhammad Azfar form malaysia... your blog very interesting for me... may u explain boat what is turbidite in detail and what the method the we can recognize the turbidite by looking at the outcrop... it there any special features the we can assumed that the outcrop is from turbidite....my u email me at mohamed.azfar@yahoo.com... im hungry to know detail about turbidite... tq.... have a nice day...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-50479065709942720722008-09-29T19:25:00.000-07:002008-09-29T19:25:00.000-07:00Well, I might have to revise the post slightly, th...Well, I might have to revise the post slightly, then. I thought maybe that one layer showed something that matched my old notes, but then there is also the cleavage-foliation cutting everything.
