Summary The shelfbreak is that point where the first major change in gradient occurs on the outermost edge of the continental shelf. Although this environment delimits the boundary between two principal and well-defined provinces, the continental shelf and slope, and thus is of the first order of importance on continental margins, it has received surprisingly little specific attention in either modern oceans or in the rock record. This volume was derived from an SEPM Research Symposium convened at the joint Annual Meeting of SEPM and AAPG on June 2, 1981.
