文摘

Fill-and-spill and sequence stratigraphic models tested in offshore Louisiana. Lack of fill-and-spill accumulation and sedimentary reciprocity at 10–100 kyr. Only 3% of “lowstand” mass transport deposits correlate to sea-level low stands. Deposits fill (not spill) minibasin depocenters for last 3.7 Myr. Differential accumulation and salt tectonism dislocated the shelf and slope.
