[[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-83.png|Figure 1]] shows (1) a typical succession of carbonate lithofacies sequences that formed during high-amplitude, high-frequency sea level fluctuations and (2) a corresponding sea level curve related to diagenesis. In this example, sequences lack internal barriers or seals to inhibit the vertical and lateral migration of the paleowater table; therefore, sequence sediments are subjected to a complex sequence of diagenetic events due to large-scale sea level fluctuations. If internal barriers were present, diagenesis would be lessened.
