Changes

The [[Late Cretaceous]] to [[Holocene]] depositional history of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental margin has been influenced by several factors:<ref name=ch04r26>Coleman, J., M., Roberts, H., H., 1991, Mississippi River depositional system: model for the Gulf Coast Tertiary, in Goldthwaite, D., ed., An Introduction to Central Gulf Coast Geology: New Orleans Geological Society, p. 99–121.</ref>

Mesozoic and Cenozoic fluvial systems have filled in the northern margins of the GOM rift basin, prograding the continental margin of one area until sediment input shifts to another area ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-4.png|Figure 1]]). Subsidence is related to basement cooling or differential response of basement types to loading ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-6.png|Figure 2]]). Formation of diapirs and tectonic movement of growth fault systems has already being discussed as it relates to sediment loading. Fluctuation in sea level is discussed in [[Sea level cycle phase]].
