This study exemplifies very clearly the sort of stratal geometries that result from the progradation of specific, temperate carbonate sedimentary systems. |
However, although many of the reflection terminations appear indicative of stratal truncation it may not be the only cause of reflection termination. |
This study demonstrates a close relationship between sedimentary styles and stratal geometries resulting from progradation of specific sedimentary systems. |
Depositional patterns within syn-tectonic stratal units give insights into the spatial characteristics of the fault zone at particular stages of its evolution. |
If these progradational features are indicative of true stratal geometries they suggest significant transport of sediment across the sea bed during deposition. |
The correlation is supported by an analysis of stratal expansion, throw development, and data on the sandstone ratio of corresponding footwall and hanging-wall intervals. |
