Epeiric Platform Facies• Tidal and storm processes may beexpected (latter more prevalent onsmaller bodies of water –less tidalinfluence).• Currents in broad shallow seas = ooidshoals, creates low relief islands. Tidalflat migration = progradation. Cyclical.
Isolated Platforms• ie: Atolls, also the Bahamas• Distribution of facies dependant onprevailing winds.• No terrigenous input at all.
