==Fault A′==
In the East Breaks 160-161 minibasin, the [[Growth fault|fault]] splay fault A′ forms the northern boundary to the field (Figures 4-42 and 4-43). The dynamic phase of this fault is recorded by the wedge-shaped sediment thickening into the fault, deposited between pre-''Hyal B'' (ca. 1.00 Ma) time of deposition and late ''Trim A'' (ca. 0.56 Ma) time of deposition (Figure 4-31). Its growth phase began about 1.20 Ma.<ref name=ch04r10>Armentrout, J., M., Clement, J., F., 1990, Biostratigraphic calibration of depositional cycles: a case study in High Island–Galveston–East Breaks areas, offshore Texas: Proceedings, Gulf Coast Section SEPM 11th Annual Research Conference, p. 21–51.</ref><ref name=ch04r7>Armentrout, J., M., 1991, Paleontological constraints on depositional [[modeling]]: examples of integration of biostratigraphy and seismic stratigraphy, Pliocene–Pleistocene, Gulf of Mexico, in Weimer, P., Link, M., H., eds., Seismic Facies and Sedimentary Processes of Submarine Fans and Turbidite Systems: New York, Springer-Verlag, p. 137–170.</ref> Sea-floor expression of this fault clearly indicates offset of Holocene sediments, showing that the fault is currently active (Figure 4-43).
