interdistributary

This facies association, coupled with the significant thickness of the mudstone units and the lack of evidences of emergence and/or root traces indicate that F1 mudstone-siltstone was deposited in distal delta front environment [67 ] rather than in a shallow water floodplain lake or interdistributary bay [68 ].
