TL;DR: Parker et al. as mentioned in this paper considered the formation of the outflow channels and valley networks discovered on the Martian northern plains during the Mariner 9 mission and suggested that geological processes capable of producing similar morphologies on earth, lacustrine or marine deposition and subsequent periglacial modification offer the simplest and most consistent explanation for the suit of features found on Mars.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive data base of box core x-radiographs, bottom photographs, and box core faunal data has been employed to establish the relationships between dissolved oxygen content and sediment fabric, biogenic structure distribution and size trends, and fauna composition and species richness in three "anoxic silled basins" of the California continental borderland.

TL;DR: The floors of the San Pedro and Santa Monica basins off southern California lie at a depth of nearly 1000 meters and contain layers of clean sand interbedded with normal deep-water green muds as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A large number of sediment cores and sediment trap samples collected from different parts of the Santa Monica-San Pedro (SM-SP) Basin during 1985-1988 were studied for radionuclides, trace metals and other sedimentary components as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Box cores and gravity cores collected in Santa Monica Basin, California Continental Borderland, and in Alfonso Basin, western Gulf of California, contain turbidites, some of which can be traced over much of the respective basin floors.
