==Traditional structure cross section==
Traditional regional cross sections, such as in the figure below, have shown highly [[Deformation|deformed]] salt rooted within the in-place Middle Jurassic mother salt. Such cross sections have been used to suggest that successive progradation of siliciclastics loaded and displaced the salt as each sedimentary cycle's depocenter stepped progressively basinward. Differential loading of the salt formed deeply rooted diapirs and shallow [[growth fault]]s as a result of sediment downbuilding and consequent displacement of salt. Mature [[source rock]]s occurring between the deeply rooted diapirs could yield hydrocarbons able to migrate within each salt-walled compartment of each depocenter.
