Abstract

A previous study on the basis of long-range side-scan sonar data (Kenyon et al., 1995. Geometry of the younger sediment bodies of the Indus Fan. In: Pickering, K.T., Hiscott, R.N., Kenyon, N.H., Ricci Lucchi, F., Smith, R.D.A. (Eds.), Atlas of deep water environments: architectural style in turbidite systems. Chapman and Hall, London, pp. 89-93.) revealed a distributary complex of large channel-levee systems radiating from the mouth of the Indus Canyon and lower-order distributary complexes, each consisting of several smaller channel-levee systems, on the middle Indus Fan. Sediment cores from the Indus Canyon and the middle Indus Fan are analysed in this study in order to reconstruct the timing of turbidite sedimentation on the fan. Sediment cores from the middle fan show that turbidite sedimentation of the last but one switched to the last and youngest channel-levee system at the transition from oxygen-isotope stage 3 to 2 (≃24.8
