There are five basic carbonate depositional environments. From shore to basin, they are ''peritidal'' (tidal flat), ''shallow shelf interior, shelf margin complex, slope'', and ''basin'' ([[:file:carbonate-reservoir-models-facies-diagenesis-and-flow-characterization_fig2.png|Figure 2]]). | There are five basic carbonate depositional environments.
