Abstract

On the New Jersey continental rise, degree of preservation of sediment organic matter helped to distinguish slumped sediments from sediments that have not moved from their original place of deposition. Better preservation of the organic matter in slumped sediments can be attributed to more moderate bioturbation by bottom-dwelling organisms at the original deposition site.-from Authors
