This paper is dedicated to some questionable aspects of contourite deposits. It shows the large variability of the contourite drifts and facies especially when contour currents interact with other sedimentary processes, and points out the difficulty to identify contourite deposits in mixed turbiditic-contouritic systems. The demonstration is supported by numerous examples.
