Marine sediment soured from either terrestrial systems, marine organisms, seawater and or cosmogeneous sources, which is transported through the marine water column, and accumulates within shallow regions of the oceanic basin close to continents, such as the continental shelf, or continental slope.
In this definition we refer to sedimentation processes that occured above the shelf, however this should be relaxed to include the continental shelf and slope.
