The Roda Sandstone Member (Lower Eocene, Tremp-Graus Basin, Spanish Pyrenees) is interpreted as a well-exposed multiscale Gilbert-type delta. It is formed by multiple prograding lobate-shaped sandstone bodies up to 5 km (3 mi) long and 2–3 km (1–2 mi) wide, each constructed by a number of smaller scale (hunderds of meters) lobes that stack in a compensational mode responding to relative base level changes.

Exceptional outcrop conditions in the Dolomites of northern Italy allow appreciation of facies variability, depositional geometries, and platform-to-basin relationships at seismic scale that developed during a complex sedimentary evolution. This itinerary focuses on two Triassic microbial carbonate platforms, the Latemar and Sella, providing examples of key concepts that are fundamental for the interpretation of subsurface geologic bodies.

The Vercors Massif of southern France constitutes a world-class and unique opportunity to visualize depositional geometries and diagenetic transformations of a Barremian–early Aptian (early Cretaceous) carbonate system, the Urgonian platform, at a seismic scale and thus to constrain the three-dimensional continuity and connectivity of reservoir-prone facies deposited during periods of high and low sea level.
