Method of sedimentary basin reconstruction and compilation of lithofacies - paleogeographic maps

Abstract

A sccondary basin corresponds wilh a second order đepositional cycle, is limited by two erosional surfaces which arc also the boundaries of a scismic scquence. In othcr vvords, a secondary basin is a component of an overall scdimentary basin. A secondary basin is formed at the same time with a tectonic phase where the three most important factors are faulting, subsidence and uplifting. Basin-forming faults are usually normal faults and are called "syn-depositional fault"
