this is not unusual when thin sandstone layers (a) are intercalated into a rather thick mudstone series as in the case shown below. The overall ratio of mudstone/sandstone is still maintained being greater than 1 in this turbidite unit.
I've been working with fluvial deposits and saw several injectites like that case in the picture. In one thick sandstone layer (mayor channel) saw a few sand dikes injected but i can´t find the source of the material. I inferred that the layer suffers liquefaction and fluidization and the injection happens in the same layer. Is an assumption, but i´m not sure.
