The nearly vertical stacking of seven shelf-margin clinoforms suggests that accommodation space was created in the same area during seven cycles of progradation. The accommodation space is formed by down-to-the-north movement on the fault. This fault is part of a counter-regional listric growth fault that soles out into salt layers at depth. Movement on the fault occurred at a rate permitting the vertical stacking of shelf-margin clinoforms during each glacial/interglacial sea level cycle rather than progressive basinward progradation of successive clinoforms across a stable shelf-slope profile. This pattern clearly demonstrates the interplay of sediment supply, tectonics, climate, and sea level (see .<ref name=ch04r18>Beard, J., H., Sangree, J., B., Smith, L., A., 1982, Quaternary chronology, paleoclimate, depositional sequences, and eustatic cycles: AAPG Bulletin, vol. 66, p. 158–169.</ref><ref name=ch04r3>Anderson, R., N., Abdulah, K., Sarzalejo, S., Siringan, F., Thomas, M., A., 1996, Late Quaternary sedimentation and high-resolution [[sequence stratigraphy]] of the East Texas shelf, in DeBatist, M., Jacobs, P., eds., Geology of Siliciclastic Shelf Seas: Geological Society of London Special Publication 117, p. 94–124.</ref>
