Maybe "tip and sink" is more descriptive. The surrounding mud would provide overriding mass. What I've seen of plates sinking in viscous material - one edge drops and then a roll of stuff rides over the top, curling under (Like videos of Hawaiian lava). There's no way you could have gathered that from my overly compact rendition.
