Abstract

Nine depositional facies, in idealized sequence across a typical carbonate shelf margin, include basinal, tidal-shelf, basin-margin, platform-foreslope, organic-reef, platform-edge-sand, open-marine-platform, restricted-marine platform, and platform-evaporite facies. Each facies is characterized by sedimentologic parameters, prevailing rock types, color, microfacies, sedimentary structure, terrigenous content, and distinctive biota. Descriptions of this very widespread sequence should aid in location of reservoir rock. End_of_Article - Last_Page 1793------------
