Shows that non-multiple, continuously graded beds from turbidite sequences have size decline curves that are either convex, concave or straight. Fluid mechanics of turbulent transport; Formula relating both median and maximum-grain size to height above the base of the graded bed; Relation between the shape of the size decline curve in a continuously graded bed and the initial size distribution of particles.
