Figure 4. Two-dimensional stratigraphic forward model of a carbonate platform during 7.5 m.y. The model length is 300 km with an initial ramp topography and a slope angle less than 0.1°, thus mimicking typical Cretaceous Tethysian carbonate platforms. Subsidence is uniform in time and space (100 m/7.5 m.y.), and sea-level changes correspond to a sinusoid with long periods and mean amplitudes (20 m). Carbonate production, constant through time, is the only input parameter that varies in space as a function of water depth and energy.
