The lateral changing pattern of sedimentary structure from sediment gravity flows in the Izumi Group, Awaji Island, southwest Japan are studied on the basis of the detailed field observation. Double-layered turbidite, that has not been categorized into the former proposed evolutional model of sedimentary structure, is composed of massive sandstone in the lower part and normal graded sandstone in the upper part. Each type of four hypothetic sediment gravity flows, high density debris flow, low density debris flow, high density turbidity current and low density turbidity current, deposits and forms conglomerates, massive sandstone or sandy mudstone, normal graded sandstone and mudstone which corresponds to Bouma-E sequence, respectively. Double-layered turbidite is the indicator of boundary part between low density debris flow deposits and high density turbidity current deposits in the continuous structural changing system of sediment gravity flow deposits.
