depozone
Explanation:
DeCelles y Giles (1996) dividen a los "sistemas depositacionales de cuencas de antepaís" en 4 depozonas bien diferenciadas, que de la parte más interna hacia la más externa son: la depozona de cuña frontal (wedge-top depozone), la antefosa (foredeep depozone), el abultamiento periférico (forebulge depozone) y la depozona retroperiférica (back-bulge depozone).

Schematic vertical juxtaposition of depozones in acomplete foreland basin system

These wedge-top deposits pass cratonward into a foredeep depozone containing a 3 4-km-thick sedimentary prism that tapers toward (and locally pinches out against) a broad-wavelength forebulge in the central-eastern Chaco Plain.
