Glacimarine slope sedimentation, contourite drifts and bottom current pathways on the Barra Fan, UK North Atlantic margin

The sedimentary record of a 30-m core (MD95-2006) from the Barra Fan in the eastern Rockall Trough has been correlated with high-resolution seismic profiles obtained across sediment drifts and large mass flow deposits. A series of sediment drifts, featuring upslope migrating wavy bedforms, has been...
