Contourite drifts on canyon heads at the NW of the Ortegal Marginal Platform are observed. Although they are located on the upper slope and above the influence zone of the Mediterranean Outflow Water, some filaments of the upper core of this water mass flowing along the Galician continental slope could have flowed during the Pliocene and Quaternary to the East confined into the A Coruña and Ferrol canyons.
