The couplet thickness of Raisi limestone-shale rhythmite is trend-free and non-oscillatory. The couplet thickness are log-normally distributed. These characters suggest, Raisi rhythmite is of episodic as against diagenetic and seasonally-controlled origin of the rhythmites. Among the options available for episodic origin (inundites. tempestites, turbidites) evidences suggest a turbidite origin for Raisi rhythmite.
