Abstract
The Gulf of Lion located in the Western Mediterranean has in its basin important deep water turbidity complexes, like the Rhône Deep-Sea Fan. During the Pliocene, the feeder system of this fan would have been constituted by multiple canyons; while in the Quaternary, the feeder system would have converged for a single canyon - the Petit-Rhône Canyon. However, the analysis of an isopac map of the Pliocene suggested that the pliocene sequence converges for two principal canyons - the Marti and the Petit-Rhône Canyon.
