Ainsi, il ne faut pas toujours associer les dépôts de bas niveau marin à des environnements profonds. On peut avoir des dépôts de prisme de bas niveau déposés sous une faible profondeur d’eau. Il suffit que le niveau marin soit plus haut que la rupture de pente continentale, mais plus bas que la rupture de pente côtière(la ligne de baie et le point d’équilibre doivent être en aval de la rupture de pente côtière). 1, record 13, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20bas%20niveau
