| Abstract: | Tectonostratigraphy deals with distinguishing megasequences and their interpretation in terms of tectonic settings. It is closely related to sequence stratigraphy and regional tectonics. Tectonosratigraphic units are distinctly displayed on seismic profiles. Examination of megasequences is a reliable tool for regional-scale research. We discuss, using several specific examples, the process of identifying tectonostratigraphic units in various types of sedimentary basins, as well as their relations to chronostratigraphic units. |
