Figure 3. Space–time relationships between actual and apparent accommodation analyzed from a typical carbonate platform outcrop. Subsidence and sea-level curves that define the actual accommodation are expressed as a function of time, whereas the apparent accommodation, calculated from bed thickness and paleobathymetry, is expressed as a function of depth. Without strong assumptions on the time–depth function, it is difficult to extract the actual accommodation time curve directly from such sedimentary records. Facies legend in Figure 2. Bathy = Bathymetry; t0 = 0 m.y.; tn = 5 m.y.
