==Carbonate platform third-order sequence==

==Carbonate platform third-order sequence==

The diagrams below outline the deposition of a sequence associated with a carbonate plat-form during a third-order sea level cycle. Sequence deposition begins with lowstand systems tract (2 and 3) and ends with the highstand systems tract (5).
