Abstract
The reasons for carbonate highstand shedding are twofold: (1) the productive area increases manyfold when the flat platform top is flooded during highstands, and (2) highstand platform sediments rapidly lithify during sea-level falls when the sea floors are winnowed due to lowering of wave base or when sediment become exposed to fresh water. -from Authors
