===GOM depocenter summary===

In the case of the northern Gulf of Mexico, the depocenters [[Well_log_sequence_analysis#Parasequence_stacking_patterns|prograde]] over the transitional crust and deform the underlying salt, forming a complex network of salt-cored anticlines and salt-withdrawal synclines. Between 2.5 and 2.0 Ma, the major northern Gulf of Mexico depocenter was focused offshore western Louisiana and eastern Texas. The westernmost part of this depocenter area, the High Island–East Breaks depocenter, appears to have been the input area for the ancestral Mississippi River system. The resulting depocenter has more than [[depth::16,000 ft]] (4875 m) of late Pliocene and early Pleistocene sediments deposited during a succession of high-amplitude sea level cycles (see section C, Depositional Sequences).
