==Discontinuous reflector patterns==
Five types of discontinuous reflector patterns that help interdepositional systems are shown in [[:file:exploring-for-stratigraphic-traps_fig21-25.png|Figure 2]]. Hummocky strata may be discontinuous point bars and crevasse splays. Chaotic reflectors suggest coarse-grained fluvial or [[turbidite]] channel fills. Contorted features may be shale-prone debris flows. Precise identification of depositional environments requires integration with other data.
