The structural/stratigraphic configuration of the East Breaks 160-161 minibasin formed well after ''Glob alt'' deposition. As discussed earlier, the High Island–East Breaks basin was a late Pliocene - early Pleistocene slope basin through which [http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs-wm/25729.pdf gravity flow sands] flowed southward. [[Depocenter#Sediment_supply_rate_and_facies_patterns|Progradation]] overloaded the underlying [[Halite|salt]] and minibasins formed as a succession of southward-stepping [[Growth fault|growth-fault]]/[http://www.beg.utexas.edu/indassoc/agl/pubs/Withdrawal.pdf salt-withdrawal] sediment thicks ([[:File:Sedimentary-basin-analysis fig4-44.png|Figure 1]]).
