Title: Late quaternary sedimentation and high-resolution sequence stratigraphy of the east Texas shelf

Conference ·
OSTI ID:542975

The shelf-margin deltas of the area show a complex pattern of progradation and aggradation that varies from one delta to the next. This complexity is due predominantly to the different response of systems with different sediment supplies to fifth-order eustatic fluctuations. Before we understood these autocyclic effects, attempts at relating seismic stratigraphic changes to the oxygen isotope curve, our proxy for sea-level change, were unsuccessful.
