Figure 17—Part of seismic line JA90-31, together with line-drawing interpretation, showing the spectacular clino-forms comprising sequence 2 (other sequences lightly shaded) beneath the modern shelf edge. Mounds forming immediately downslope from the modern shelf break also are clearly visible, along with older biogenic mounds inferred to have formed in a similar bathymetric position, but which have since been overwhelmed by prograding sediments. Modified from Feary and James (1995).
