==Timing of fault movement==
Fault movement timing is critical for trap formation timing. Growth-fault rollover anti-clines develop by updip expansion and sediment entrapment on the downthrown side of the fault and consequent downdip sediment starvation and continued subsidence within the intraslope basin (see Figure 4-43 for geometries above the ''Trim A'' interval along fault A′). Thus, the updip trap for gravity-flow sandstone is the rollover into the fault, formed during the dynamic phase of fault movement.
