Emphasis in this paper is on sedimentary facies, sediment composition changes, and tectono-eustatic cycles in a rift/transform margin transition In the late Albian, restricted intracontinental sedimentation was characterized by laminated lacustrine and mixed-source deltaic deposits.

Facies, Petrology and Models ... Environmental reconstructions within ancient subduction complexes should follow modern analogues as closely as possible and consider several criteria, including turbidite facies associations, vertical depositional cycles, regional palaeocurrent patterns, and in many cases,

Geologists look at ancient sedimentary rocks to figure out the type of environment that once was in the location where the rock formed. The table below lists environments that are common on Earth and the physical features that characterize them.
