Seven main lithofacies (1–7) and ichnofabrics in the Mochras profile; to the right—main types of bigradational contourite drift sedimentary cycles built of main lithofacies—full cycle, top cut-out cycle, bottom cut-out cycle (referred to Stow et al. 2002; Stow and Faugeres 2008). Contourite cycle divisions reflect variations in current velocity. C1–C5—“Full” contourite cycle. For lithology and trace fossil abbreviation see Fig. 2a, b
