Full TextAbstract
In this work we report for the first time eventite beds generated by turbulence events triggered by breaking internal waves in Jurassic pelagic muds, which deposited in a graben area located between the Arabian and Bisotoun carbonate platforms at the Kermanshah basin (West Iran). The 43 m-thick studied Pliensbachian–Aalenian succession at Kermanshah includes sponge spicule-radiolarian limestones and cherts with cm- to dm-thick intercalations of pyroclastic beds and coarse-grained deposits formed by neritic-derived grains and reworked pelagic material. Breaking of internal waves in localized areas reworked the avaliable sediment on sea floor, including the erosion of cohesive pelagic carbonate muds and the resuspension of neritic-derived grains, which were resedimented form the Bisotoun platform most probably by storms
