The different depositional contexts for this unit enabled the distinction of three sectors: lagoon, lagoon-barrier, and marine-distal. The integration of the evolutionary taphonomic analysis of its fossil assemblages with the analysis of multiscale properties through the CAMURES methodology (Multiscale Reservoir Characterization) allowed the application of a methodology for the classification of coquina which was previously developed for the Morro do Chaves Formation (Sergipe\u2013Alagoas Basin, Brazil). Here, it was adapted according to the complexity of the Amaral Formation deposits. The classification of ten taphofacies, in association with four lithofacies, allowed the definition of 84 petrofacies, based on the nature of the sedimentary and taphonomic processes. The relationship between the structural context, the systems tracts, the diversity of the fossil record, the classification of taphofacies and petrofacies, and the understanding of vertical and lateral variations of the sediments\u2019 deposition within the unit support the construction of geological and theoretical models for coquina deposits. These models will allow for prediction of the spatial distribution of facies in other coquina analogous hydrocarbon reservoirs, as well as specifying the delimitation of reservoir zones for 3D geocellular modeling and flow simulation of hydrocarbon-producing reservoirs, thus improving predictive analyses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse9121319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T01:43:22Z","timestamp":1638323002000},"page":"1319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Taphofacies and Petrofacies Theoretical Marine Models Applied to the Coquina of the Amaral Formation (Lusitanian Basin, Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3858-5054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Garcia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Geosciences Center, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Jorge Vasconcellos","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geosciences Center, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Progeologia Laboratory\/Nucleus of Competence in Oil, Gas and Biofuels, Federal Universiy of Sergipe, Avenida Marechal Rondon S\/n, S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o 49100-000, Sergipe, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7943-3148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Helena Paiva","family":"Henriques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geosciences Center, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Rafael Mendes","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geosciences Center, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8033-3486","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Pena dos Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geosciences Center, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"175","article-title":"Evolu\u00e7\u00e3o dos conhecimentos sobre as coquinas-reservat\u00f3rio da Forma\u00e7\u00e3o Lagoa Feia no trend Badejo-Linguado-Pampo, Bacia de Campos","volume":"25","author":"Castro","year":"2006","journal-title":"Geoci\u00eancias (UNESP)"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"51","article-title":"Caracteriza\u00e7\u00e3o multiescalar de reservat\u00f3rios carbon\u00e1ticos an\u00e1logos em afloramentos da Bacia de Sergipe-Alagoas, NE do Brasil","volume":"22","author":"Neto","year":"2014","journal-title":"Boletim T\u00e9cnico da Petrobras"},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"105","article-title":"Criterios elementales de reelaboraci\u00f3n tafon\u00f3mica em ammonites de La Cordillera Ib\u00e9rica","volume":"19","year":"1984","journal-title":"Acta Geol.
