Maximum Flooding Surfaces

Maximum Flooding Surface is a stratigraphic surface of marine origin that represents the most landward transgressive extent of a marine shoreline, distinguished from other sequence boundaries by marking the culmination of relative sea-level rise and the transition from retrogradational to progradational stacking patterns within a depositional sequence.
