Un lithofaciès peut migrer avec le temps. On le retrouve à des emplacements successifs et décalés en montant dans la série des dépôts. Cette migration se poursuit souvent dans la même direction. Ces faciès décalés, mais qui restent semblables à travers différentes périodes successives sont dits «hétérochrones». 3, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9t%C3%A9rochrone
