  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The Butano Sandstone is an Eocene continental borderland&amp;nbsp;deep-sea fan deposit located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Calif. &amp;nbsp;Paleoslope measurements from contorted strata within it yield a&amp;nbsp;regional northward paleoslope for the fan. Detailed paleocurrent&amp;nbsp;measurements from conglomerate clast orientations, flute casts, groove&amp;nbsp;casts, current-ripple markings, small-scale cross-strata, convolute laminations,&amp;nbsp;and flame structures yield a sediment-dispersal pattern characterized&amp;nbsp;by northward transport of coarser grained sediments downfan&amp;nbsp;along major channels and transport of finer grained sediments outward&amp;nbsp;and away from channels by overspilling. The overall paleocurrent&amp;nbsp;pattern is oriented radially outward from the fan apex and indicates&amp;nbsp;that the growth, development, and dispersal of sediments on this&lt;br /&gt;ancient deep-sea fan resembled that on modern deep-sea fans.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
