Tectonic evolution of the [[basin::Gulf of Mexico basin]] has resulted in five primary tectonostratigraphic phases (A–E), each with a different sediment accumulation and deformation history. [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-11.png|Figure 1]] is a schematic diagram showing a series of cross sections representing the four phases of Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous evolution of the GOM basin (see [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-6.png|Figure 2]] for the location). | Tectonic evolution of the [[basin::Gulf of Mexico basin]] has resulted in five primary tectonostratigraphic phases (A–E), each with a different sediment accumulation and deformation history.
