Many of these lateral shifts result from tectonic events along the basin margin or within the drainage basins themselves.<ref name=ch04r34>Galloway, W., E., 1989, [http://archives.datapages.com/data/bulletns/1988-89/data/pg/0073/0002/0100/0125.htm Genetic stratigraphic sequences in basin analysis I: architecture and genesis of flooding-surface bounded depositional units]: AAPG Bulletin, vol. 73, p. 125–142.</ref> The lateral shift of the fluvial-deltaic systems is also reflected in the lateral shift of the [[gravity]]-flow depositional systems on the slope and basin floor.<ref name=Feng_Buffler_1994>Feng, J., and R.

[[:file:Sedimentary-basin-analysis fig4-4.png|Figure 2]] shows major sand influxes into the northern Gulf of Mexico from Late Cretaceous to Recent. Each area of sand-prone sediment provides age-specific potential reservoirs within these fluvial-deltaic depositional systems.
