Fig. 7.45.— Sequence stratigraphy of
gradual change, demonstrated on the
Latemar. Columns show over 400 m of
rhythmic platform deposits with bottom at
lower left, top at upper right. Black lines
and shading = terrestrial and supratidal
deposits, blank = subtidal deposits. LPF
– largely subtidal cycles; LCF – lower
subtidal-supratidal cycles; TF – tepee
cycles, dominated by supratidal deposits;
UCF – upper subtidal-supratidal cycles.
Abundance of supratidal/terrestrial facies
first increases, reaches a maximum in the
tepee
interval middle of the section, then decreases again.
TF Shoaling and deepening trends are used
LCF to identify systems tracts indicated in red.
TST = transgressive systems tract, HST =
TST
highstand systems tract, SB = sequence
boundary, mfs = maximum flooding surface.
