Chirp profile across the deformation front of the Calabrian Arc accretionary wedge (see location in Fig. 1). Three similar megaturbidites revealed by CHIRP data. The HAT (Homogenite-Augias Turbidite3), the DTL (Deep Transparent Layer26) and TTL (Thick Transparent Layer26) megaturbidites are highlighted in the profile by different colors (dark green, orange and light green, respectively). The low reflectivity seismic facies of these megabed in the Chirp profile is related to the upper rather homogeneous part of the megabed. The DTL composition suggests a similar source region as the HAT megaturbidite and an age of about 14 ka3. The age of the oldest megabed is still unknown. Seismic data have been processed and geo-referenced using the open-source software Seisprho72 and created using Adobe Illustrator (CS6; https://www.adobe.com/).
