FIGURE 7.-Example of neritic-bathyal platform environment, showing marked topographic
irregularities and displacement of the Pliocene and Quaternary (P-Q) and pre-Pliocene (A)
sediment sequences by fault offset (a = pinchout of surficial sediment cover, b = thickening of
sediment on a downthrown block, c = recent fault scarp exposing uppermost sedimentary
sequences).
FIGURE 8.-Neritic-bathyal platform (Pelagian Shelf) showing the offlapping of the Pliocene-
Quaternary (P-Q) cover off an actively uplifted block (arrows a). Note also slumping of recent
sediment in a small fault-produced depression (arrow b).
