Unusual Debris Flow Deposits from the Base of the Malta Escarpment (Eastern Mediterranean)
1982
The more than 3000 m high Malta Escarpment forms the western boundary of the eastern Mediterranean. The escarpment has an average dip of about 20°, however the lower part of the escarpment is steeper and has a slope of approximately 60° (Figure 1). Extensive exposures of late Triassic-lower Liassic shallow water limestone occurs along this lower part of the escarpment (Chayes et al, 1980; Scandone et al, in press; Cita et al, in press).
