These Tithonian 3rd order sequences evident on the Fischer plots may be partly equivalent to the four major sea-level cycles depicted on the Haq and Al-Qahtani (2005) chart, but it is not clear how they relate to Hardenbol et al.
The relatively high Tithonian subsidence rates likely favored relatively complete preservation of precessional cycles with few missing beats, in contrast to the more slowly subsiding parts of the Early Cretaceous where more missing beats are likely.
The lack of subaerial surfaces in the Tithonian likely is due to the high accommodation rates which even during falling sea-level prevented prolonged emergence of the platform.
The Paredón field was interpreted as an elongate anticline trending NW-SE and bound by a reverse fault along its NE limit, as well as a series of normal faults with variable orientations (Figure 2B).
The reservoirs are Lower Cretaceous, Tithonian, and Kimmeridgian in age.
The Tithonian strata are mainly fine- to medium-crystalline dolomites and a few planktonic wackestone beds.
