TL;DR: In this paper, a model-independent framework of genetic units and bounding surfaces for sequence stratigraphy has been proposed, based on the interplay of accommodation and sedimentation (i.e., forced regressive, lowstand and highstand normal regressive), which are bounded by sequence stratigraphic surfaces.

TL;DR: Catuneanu et al. as discussed by the authors used a neutral approach that focused on model-independent, fundamental concepts, because these are the ones common to various approaches and this search for common ground is what they meant by "standardization", not the imposition of a strict, inflexible set of rules for the placement of sequence-stratigraphicsurfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of diagnostic features and facies sequences of alluvial/marine systems is presented, and particular effort must be made to extract maximum information from the individual bed characteristics.

TL;DR: In this article, a classification of transgressive seafloor facies is proposed based on the recognition of distinctive surfaces (wave and tidal ravinement surfaces, transgressive surface) within the transgressive lithosome.

TL;DR: In this article, the fourfold rift basin infill classification scheme was proposed for predicting the distribution and geometry of synrift reservoir and source rock types, despite the inherent variability of the marine synrift infills.
