A middle to upper Miocene turbidite depositional system exists at Site 765 in the southeastern Argo Abyssal Plain, along the northwest margin of Australia. Turbidites consist predominantly of planktonic calcareous components. Textural, mineralogical, bedding, and downhole logging trends within the s...
