The Devonian-Mississippian Antler foreland sediments of east-central Nevada (Chainman and Diamond Peak Formations) comprise at least three sequences, each reflecting different distribution mechanisms, and each deformed and eroded before the next was deposited: (1) the Diamond Range sequence was deposited on a submarine fan, which prograded to shallow marine and deltaic conditions, (2) the transgressive Newark Valley sequence was deposited in braided fluvial to nearshore marine conditions, and (3) the transgressive Green Springs sequence was deposited on an intertidal to subtidal marine shelf. The sequence boundaries are expressed as low-angle unconformities.
