Flysch
Type of sedimentary rock sequence / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flysch (/flɪʃ/) is a sequence of sedimentary rock layers that progress from deep-water and turbidity flow deposits to shallow-water shales and sandstones. It is deposited when a deep basin forms rapidly on the continental side of a mountain building episode. Examples are found near the North American Cordillera, the Alps, the Pyrenees[1][2] and the Carpathians.
