To the north, as during the Aptian–Albian, the shallow carbonate banks continued to be separated from the pelagic, deep-water sediments to the south by a zone of carbonate-derived clastics, which shifted progressively southward; carbonate [[turbidite]]s became increasingly abundant (Calabazar* and Mata* formations). In the Florida Straits, carbonate deposition did not keep up with subsidence as indicated by the increase in pelagic deposits, including chert (upper Casablanca Group). | To the north, as during the Aptian–Albian, the shallow carbonate banks continued to be separated from the pelagic, deep-water sediments to the south by a zone of carbonate-derived clastics, which shifted progressively southward; carbonate [[turbidite]]s became increasingly abundant (Calabazar* and Mata* formations).
