“…In sedimentary systems facies architectures and stratal geometries are both the result of an interaction between changes in accommodation, and the relative rates of sediment production to sediment transport (Bosence & Waltham, 1990; Helland‐Hansen & Gjelberg, 1994; Meijer, 2002; Burgess & Steel, 2008; Williams et al ., 2011; Prince & Burgess, 2013; Burgess & Prince, 2015). In carbonate platform systems, carbonate grain associations, and the associated carbonate producing factories (Table 1), have been thought to control stratal architecture and platform geometry (Wilson, 1975; Read, 1985; Wright & Faulkner, 1990; Bosence & Waltham, 1990; Burchette & Wright, 1992; Bosence et al ., 1994; Aurell et al ., 1998; Bowman & Vail, 1999; Pomar, 2001; Schlager, 2005; Pomar & Kendall, 2008; Warrlich et al ., 2008; Williams et al ., 2011; Pomar et al ., 2012; Masiero et al ., 2020; Reijmer, 2021). This is because carbonate factories influence the rate of sediment production, the depth distribution of sediment production (production profiles) (e.g.…”
