Lineations interpreted from aerial photographs reveal stratal geometries of deep-sea clastic deposits along an ancient basin margin that was strongly influenced by both subduction and related volcanogenic processes. These stratal patterns of four principal stratigraphic sequences in steeply dipping Tithonian to Valanginian sediments of the Great Valley sequence, northern California, in combination with lithic facies data, illustrate the major components and internal architecture that resulted from eustatic and tectonic variations. Although deposited along a tectonically active margin, the component geometries and internal stratal patterns of the sequences are similar in detail to seismically defined stratigraphic sequences of Vail. The integration of fine-scale stratal architecture based on aerial photograph interpretation and sediment facies using classical models of submarine-fan deposits illustrates the depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a convegent deep-sea margin.
