==Basins, depocenters, and minibasins==

The interaction of the eustatic cycles of sediment accumulation within geographically shifting regional depocenters results in a complex stratigraphic architecture later deformed by tectonic movement. This deformation results in the formation of subbasins, depocenters, and minibasins. Minibasins in the GOM basin are relatively small areas of sedimentary thicks bounded by faults and salt-cored highs. We subdivide the basin into depocenters by identifying age-specific sediment thicks. We then subdivide depocenters into minibasins by identifying areas within the depocenter isolated by structure.
