A turbite bed is a sedimentary rock layer composed of alternating beds of coarse-grained and fine-grained material, typically found in turbidite deposits. Turbidites are formed by underwater turbidity currents transporting sediment and depositing it as distinct layers due to varying flow velocities. These beds often show graded bedding, with larger particles settling first followed by progressively finer grains.
