==''Glob alt'' sequence deposition==
The ''Glob alt'' depositional sequence of Late Pliocene age (mapped below) is part of depositional cycle 2 in Figure 4-44. The sequence, deposited on a relatively open slope with only slightly undulating sea-floor topography, thins rapidly basinward due to sediment starvation in the most distal areas of the High Island-East Breaks depocenter (Figure 4-47). Subsequent progradation resulted in differential loading of the allochthonous salt and formation of local depocenters between downloaded growth fault sediment prisms and differentially displaced salt-cored anticlines.

==Well-log cross section==
The following figure is a well-log cross section of the ''Glob alt'' reservoir interval; datum is a mudstone within the GA-2 sandstone (well locations are shown on Figure 4-46). All logs are spontaneous potential with true vertical depth displays. The GA-4 reservoir sand is below the displayed interval. Log profiles are annotated: arrow C = funnel-shaped, coarsening-upward sandstone; arrow F = bell-shaped, fining-upward sandstone; parallel lines B = blocky profile of relatively thick sandstones and thin mudstone interbeds.
