Figure 17C. Embayment model for deposition of shoreface sand within transgressive systems tract in sequence set K2. C. Segment of USGS seismic line R-13 illustrating feature interpreted to be embayment in upper part of sequence set K2 in eastern NPRA. Features such as this may be petroleum prospects if reservoir-quality sandstone is present within the embayment and if the sandstone is adequately sealed by condensed mudstones. Model modified from Houseknecht (2002).
