[[file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-20.png|300px|thumb|{{figure number|1}}Contrast of the abundance of sinistral (s) ''Globoratalia menardii'' with that of ''Globorotalia inflata (G. inflata)'' in each sample.

The high abundance of ''G. menardii'' at depths of 0-20 ft (0-7 m) shown in [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-20.png|Figure 1]] correlates with the interval at the sea floor that is part of the regionally extensive transgressive mud of the Holocene. The arrow on the seismic section, shown on Figure 4-19, at about 0.6 sec (two-way time) marks a trough between two high-amplitude continuous reflections that also correlate with the high-abundance interval of ''G. menardii'' between 190 and [[length::320 ft]] (58 and 98 m). In contrast, the stratigraphic intervals of ''G. menardii'' low abundance and ''G. inflata'' high abundance correlate with the shingled-clinoform seismic facies.
