In UK books your teepee structures are called flame structures. I guess because we don't have teepees over here. Same books distinguish between massive turbidity current deposits and fine silt drifting down during thousands of years between them. (Lots of Greywacke here forming S Uplands of Scotland.) Does this apply in your picture?
Thank you, this is interesting -- the only part of this I've visited is Carlsbad Caverns. I am a recent subscriber -- have you written about its connection to this previously? If so, I should find and go read that.

I think the consensus here is that the deposits, the soft-sediment deformation, and channels are consequences of turbidity flows. See this page for more: https://geoinfo.nmt.edu/tour/federal/parks/PermianReef/stops/pmstop2_3.html

Thanks - I haven't posted about Carlsbad here, but you can find more information at The History of the Earth Calendar, the following link and the days near this one: https://historyoftheearthcalendar.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-25-carlsbad-caverns.html
Enjoyed it. I could visualize thanks to your description.
