The ''Glob alt'' depositional sequence of Late Pliocene age (mapped in [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-46.png|Figure 1]]) is part of depositional cycle 2 in [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-44.png|Figure 2]]. The sequence, deposited on a relatively open slope with only slightly undulating sea-floor topography, thins rapidly basinward due to sediment starvation in the most distal areas of the High Island-East Breaks depocenter ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-47.png|Figure 3]]). Subsequent progradation resulted in differential loading of the allochthonous salt and formation of local depocenters between downloaded growth fault sediment prisms and differentially displaced salt-cored anticlines.
