This article discusses the concept of depositional sequences and how to identify them, using a data set from the High Island–East Breaks area. The location of this study area is shown on the depocenter maps of Figures [[:File:Sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-13.png|1]] through [[:file:Sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-13.png|4]].
