Tectonic control on peritidal carbonate parasequence formation: an investigation using forward tectono-stratigraphic modelling

Studies of Quaternary extensional faults indicate that they have instantaneous amounts of throw (0·4 to 4 m), average slip rates (0·05 to 2·8 m kyr⁻¹) and frequency of recurrence (
