==Parasequences==
For transgressive and regressive shallow-water facies, each of the depositional layers is called a parasequence; they stack into parasequence sets.<ref name=ch04r70>Mitchum, R., M., Jr., Van Wagoner, J., C., 1990, High-frequency sequences and eustatic cycles in the Gulf of Mexico basin: Proceedings, Gulf Coast Section SEPM 11th Annual Research conference, p. 257–267.</ref> More basinal facies deposited well below wave influence reflect gravity-flow processes and are not called parasequences<ref name=ch04r70 /><ref name=ch04r101 /> The depositional sequence lithofacies diagram is presented in Posamentier and Vail<ref name=ch04r79>Posamentier, H., W., Vail, P., R., 1988, Eustatic controls on clastic deposition II—sequence and systems tract models: SEPM Special Publication 42, p. 125–154.</ref> for siliciclastics and in Sarg<ref name=ch04r84>Sarg, J., F., 1988, Carbonate [[sequence stratigraphy]]: SEPM Special Publication 42, p. 155–181.</ref> for carbonate rocks.
