An integrated study of sedimentological, sequence-stratigraphic and palaeodispersal analysis was applied to the Upper-Permian clastic sedimentary succession in the Northern Sydney Basin, Australia. The succession is subdivided into fifteen facies and three facies associations. The facies associations are further subdivided into eight sub-facies associations. The sedimentary evolution involves progradation from delta-front to delta-plain to fluvial depositional environments, with a significant increase in sediment grain size across the unconformable contact that separates the deltaic from the overlying fluvial system. In contrast to the delta front that is wave/storm- and/or river-influenced, the delta plain is significantly affected by tides, with the impact of tidal currents decreasing up-sequence in the delta plain. The general lack of wave-influenced sedimentary structures suggests low wave energy in the delta plain. The abrupt termination of the tidal impact in the fluvial realm relates to the steep topographic gradients and high sediment supply, which accompanied the uplift of the New England Orogen. The sequence-stratigraphic framework includes highstand (deltaic forest and topset) and lowstand (fluvial topset) systems tracts, separated by a subaerial unconformity. In contrast to most of the mud-rich modern counterparts, this is an example of a sand-rich tidally influenced deltaic system, developed adjacent to the source region. This investigation presents a depositional model for tidal successions in regions of tectonic uplift and confinement.

“…Currently, studies with integrated statistical analyses either utilize only a small number of outcrops (Starek & Fuksi, 2017;Palozzi et al, 2018;Bourli et al, 2019) or only partially address these aspects of depositional systems (Pantopoulos et al, 2013(Pantopoulos et al, , 2018 The purpose of this study is to integrate the established statistical methods, improve them by testing against a well-understood submarine fan system, and enhance the understanding of the depositional system and control mechanisms. This study uses a large (> 2,500 m measured sections) outcrop dataset from the Pennsylvanian, synorogenic lower Atoka submarine fan succession of the Ouachita Mountains in the United States, where the structural-depositional framework is well-documented (Houseknecht, 1986;Coleman, 2000;Arbenz, 2008;Hou et al, 2020).…”
