Figure 1. General concepts and principles of carbonate sequence stratigraphy. (A) Sequence stratigraphic architecture and main stratigraphic surfaces for a complete cycle of sea-level increase and decrease. Sequence boundary (SB), maximum flooding surface (MFS), transgressive surface (TS), highstand system tract (HST), lowstand system tract (LST), transgressive system tract (TST), and falling stage system tract (FSST). This unscaled conceptual scheme implies that a unique curve of sea-level system tracts in time and a unique thickness trend of regressive and transgressive tracts (triangles) can explain the two-dimensional stratigraphic architecture (modified from Catuneanu et al., 2011). (B) Correlation between system tracts, accommodation, and sedimentary flux (modified from Homewood et al., 2000). (C) History of stratigraphic parameters for one single point in the sedimentary basin (modified from Homewood et al., 2000).
