Integrated stratigraphic cross section combining line-drawn interpretation of seismic data, ground truthed by coring, with a coastal cross section based on vibracores. Cores in the offshore transect have no cross-shelf correlation potential because they often contain different ridge deposits, shown in side-scan sonar imagery and bathymetry data. This coastal section has less sand volume than is typically found in the west-Florida transects. Positions of the coastline and barrier-island are strongly controlled by antecedent topography of the underlying Miocene limestone bedrock.
