Simplified lithologic models for gravites (deposits of sediment gravity flows). A: cohesive debrite; B-C: non-cohesive debrites; D-F: densites (deposits of bipartite sediment gravity flows); G: turbidite (Bouma sequence); H: turbidite (deposit of hyperpycnal flow). Note that the arrowed direction is analogous to the down-slope evolution of sediment gravity flows.

Gravite is defined as a sediment or rock deposited from a sediment gravity flow.[1][2] It is an umbrella term that incorporates all types of sediment gravity flow deposits (including turbidites, debrites, slide and slump deposits, and mass-transport complexes) irrespective of their depositional environment.
