Cambro-Ordovician Cap Enrage deep-sea sediments consist of six main facies: (1) coarse conglomerates; (2) graded–stratified/cross-bedded fine conglomerates; (3) dispersed pebbly sandstones; (4) liquefied pebbly sandstones; (5) ungraded cross-bedded fine conglomerate and pebbly sandstones; (6) massive sandstones.Facies 1 and coarser parts of facies 2 beds have unimodal grain orientations in bedding, with unimodal a-axis imbrications. Finer facies 2 beds have unimodal or bimodal grain orientations in bedding, with bimodal (up- and downstream) a-axis imbrications. Facies 3, 4, and 6 beds have unimodal, bimodal, or random grain orientations in bedding. The a-axis imbrications vary as follows: mainly bimodal for facies 3, bimodal or unimodal for facies 4, and dominantly unimodal for facies 6.Facies 5 beds result from fractional reworking of previous deposits by strong bottom currents (velocities 70–125 cm/s) (? dilute spillover flows). All other facies were deposited mostly from concentrated clast dispersions ...
