FIGURE 5. Summary of the genetic correlation between depositional facies described in from three areas discussed in this paper: Conecuh basin (Esposito and King, 1987); Manila basin, northern part (King and Hargrove, 1991); and Manila basin, southern part (King and Moore, 1992). Facies are listed in generalized stratigraphic order in both lower and upper Smackover sequences. n.p. = not present.
