Grabau (1906) désigne sous le terme d'«overlap» traduit par «transgression» l'extension d'une formation au-delà des limites de la formation sous-jacente. Cette extension peut être régulière ou progressive lorsque les facteurs et les roches évoluent dans le même sens avec la même vitesse apparente. La progression est irrégulière lorsqu'il y a saut brusque, marqué par une discordance et des changements soudains de lithologie entre la formation nouvelle et la précédente. 1, record 2, French, - transgression
