Recognizing the temporal and spatial distribution of each depocenter is critical to understanding basin history and [[petroleum system]] formation. Along the basin margin, depocenters may be dominated by deltaic complexes. On the slope and basin floor, depocenters are related to transport systems of gravity-flow processes.
