Comparison of the cross-sections reveals differences in geometry, thickness and structural style within and between the sub-basins. Together, the eight profiles document the complex history of basin development and deformation along Australia's southern margin.
Eight regional cross-sections provide examples of the regional geometry, distribution, thickness and seismic character of Bight Basin sequences and their structural framework. Sequences on each of the cross-sections are colour-coded to the Sequence Stratigraphic correlation chart for ease of correlation. The eight regional cross-sections are:
