Derived from the 1991 examine Symposium on Carbonate series Stratigraphy, the authors have introduced jointly in a single quantity a consultant sampling of pivotal examine during this vital subject. Its 3 sections describe (1) series thoughts and sedimentologic ideas, (2) seismic series case reports regarding seismic and outcrop interpretations, and (3) examples of high-frequency, meter-scale cycle deposition and stacking patterns.American organization Of Petroleum Engineers (AAPG)Founded in 1917, we're the world's biggest specialist geological society, with over 30,000 members.We are a pillar of the world-wide medical neighborhood.

1977). During the Holocene flooding of of the the Little Bahama Bank, some transgressive sand bodies were drowned transformed into vegetated relicts because they and transformed were not able to keep pace with rising sea level (Hine, 1977). 1977). We have not seen any documentation of of the lowstand and transgressive succession of of lithofacies in andent ancient rimmed rimmed shelf shelf margins, but a hYJXlthetical hypothetical example is offered in Figure Figure 14. 14. , 1988). 1988).

When When this difference is accounted for, the volume volume of of sediment prcxiuced produced and, thus, the actual sedimenta­ sedimentation rates at \'Vest West Caicos Island and the Persian Gulf Gulf tidal flats are comparable. Sediment production rates along rimmed shelf shelf edges are are greater than surrounding environments. environments. The accommcxiation accommodation space is quickly filled along shelf shelf edges at first by aggradation and later by prograda­ progradation. Sediment wedges usually prograde seaward because sediment production rates and energy levels highest there.
