Sequence
Stacking Patterns
Systems Tracts
A succession of genetically
related parasequences that form a distinctive stacking pattern that in
many cases is bounded by major marine-flooding surfaces and their correlative
surfaces (AAPG Methods in Exploration 7, 1990.) These
include aggrading, prograding, and retrogradational parasequence sets.
Patterns of the stacking of parasequence sets are used in conjunction
with bounding surfaces and their position within a sequence to define
systems tracts (Van Wagoner et al.,
1988).
