Critical view of the concept of sequence stratigraphy

Based on a theoretical analysis, the main shortcomings of modern varieties of the concept of sequence stratigraphy are shown: they do not comply with the definition of the relative sea level, which is given by the authors themselves; the nature of tectonic immersion, which cannot have a sinusoidal shape, is not taken into account; the boundaries of sequences, identified as subaerial disagreements on the periphery of the cover, are unlawfully compared with consonant boundaries within the basins. The need for a thorough review of this concept based on the new basic provisions is shown.
