Les sédiments continentaux présents initialement avant la rupture continentale sont appelés «sédiments pré-rift». Les sédiments lacustres et évaporatiques (comme le sel) qui se sont déposés sur les blocs basculés au cours de l'océanisation sont appelés «sédiments syn-rift». Enfin, les sédiments terrigènes issus du continent ou construits comme les récifs sont consécutifs à l'océanisation et ne se déposent que lorsque la marge passive est stabilisée. Ces sédiments qui recouvrent l'ensemble des blocs sont appelés «sédiments post-rift». 5, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9diment%20post%2Drift
