Basin-floor
fan
Incised valley
Lowstand wedge
Shelf Break
One or more progradational parasequence sets making up a wedge that is restricted seaward of the shelf break and that onlaps the slope of the preceding sequence. The most proximal part of the wedge consists of incised-valley fills and their associated lowstand-shoreline deposits on the shelf or upper slope. In basins with shelf-slope breaks, the major part of the wedge is composed of a thick, mostly shale-prone, prograding wedge-shaped unit that downlaps onto the slope fan and consists of shallowing-upward lowstand deltas and associated sediments that prograde basinward and pinch out landward.
