==Shoreface sands form layer-cake geometries==
Shoreface sands prograde by lateral accretion with a tendency to produce layer-cake tabular geometries. Depositional dead ends are rare within individual shoreface sandstones, and sweep efficiencies are generally high as a result; for example, Tyler and Ambrose<ref name=TA1986>Tyler, N., and W. A. Ambrose, 1986, [http://archives.datapages.com/data/bulletns/1986-87/data/pg/0070/0007/0800/0809.htm Facies architecture and production characteristics of strand-plain reservoirs in North Markham-North Bay City field, Frio Formation, Texas]: AAPG Bulletin, v. 70, no. 7, p. 809–829.</ref> described excellent continuity and efficient simple sweep in the Carlson shoreface reservoir of the North Markham-North City Bay field of Texas. The large size and excellent lateral continuity of shoreface reservoirs give a reasonable chance that these systems will be in contact with an aquifer (Table 29).
