    Marine environments of deposition include deltas formed at continental-marine interfaces with sand and silt deposits, barrier island-lagoon systems with silt and clay, open continental shelves with shale deposits, and carbonate platforms and reefs. Deep sea deposition occurs through turbidites on slopes and in basins, forming shale in pelagic sediments. Key points are that the vertical stacking of sedimentary rocks reflects lateral changes in sedimentary systems over time and that higher energy environments often form better reservoirs while lower energy settings create better source rocks.

    The vertical stacking of sedimentary rocks reflects the lateral change of the sedimentary system Fining upwards is caused by decrease of the energy of the system: this can result from flooding or slowing down of the transport medium High energy systems often make good reservoirs Low energy systems make good source rocks
