    The document describes two events related to the deposition of the Sarir Sandstone formation. Event 1 was a major base-level rise that pushed river sources further inland, shutting off coarse siliciclastic supply and allowing deposition of shale. Event 2 was a base level fall that allowed the resumption of coarse siliciclastic supply.
