Genetic facies tract for the analysis of deposits accumulated by sustained hyperpycnal flows with associated bed load. a Facies association along the entire depositional system (commonly 100’s of km); b Lateral facies changes towards flow margins (typical 100’s of meters). Note that lofting facies are typical of flow margin areas in marine and saline lakes. Modified from Zavala and Pan 2018. LP = Lofting point
