Figure 1. (a) Bathymetric map of the South Brazilian continental margin with directions of AABW and NADW currents, location of DSDP 515 drilling site and locations of main contourite, turbidite and mixed sedimentary systems (1 – São Tomé turbidite system [Viana et al., 2003; Gonthier et al., 2003]; 2 – São Tomé Seamount mixed system [Borisov et al., 2013]; 3 – Columbia channel mixed contourite-turbidite system [e.g., Lima et al., 2009]; 4 – Ioffe contourite drift [Ivanova et al., 2016]; 5 – Vema contourite fan [Mézerais et al., 1993; Massé et al., 1994]; AlSS – Almirante Saldanha Seamount; DB – Dogaressa Bank; CS – Columbia Seamount; M Ch – Maae channel; STS – São Tomé Seamount); (b) Regional seafloor topography of the study area with direction of the AABW current and location of cores and seismoacoustic profiles. Bold purple lines indicate fragments of seismic profile AI-35 shown in Figure 4.
