Abundant and well preserved Foraminifera in turbidites of Upper Miocene (Kapitean) age, at Cleland Creek, were compared with Foraminifera in four different depth biofacies of about the same age. The turbidites were deposited in depths certainly greater than 2,000 ft, and probably between 4,000 and 6,000 ft, and were derived from all shallower depths up to about 400 ft or less. Fragile shells and large shells are less common in turbidites than in non-turbidites, and many shells are considered to have been destroyed during transport. The basal layer of each turbidite rhythm is considered to consist of “slumped” neritic sediment with little intermixed deep-water sediment, the intermediate layer to have been deposited by a swift turbidity current, and the upper layer to have been deposited from suspension after the turbidity current ceased flowing. No trace of autochthonous sediment was found between turbidite rhythms.
