Mapping age-specific isopach thicks defines laterally shifting sites of maximum deposition along the margin of the basin. Each of these depocenters has a unique history of accumulation with consequent variations in [[maturation]], migration, and entrapment histories. Evaluation of depocenter maps should include comparison of the results with the largerscale isopach maps ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-3.png|Figures 11]], [[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-4.png|12]]). | Mapping age-specific isopach thicks defines laterally shifting sites of maximum deposition along the margin of the basin.
