A '''minibasin''' is a subdivision of a depocenter that in turn is a subdivision of a basin. Sediment thickness is the primary basis for subdividing basins into [[depocenter]]s. Structural elements separate one minibasin from another within a depocenter. The figure below shows the structural elements that define the East Breaks 160-161 minibasin, which is bound on the north by fault A, on the east by faults B and C, and on the south by a salt-cored high.
