Beschreibung:

Drawing on a combination of modern occurrences and likely ancient counterparts, this atlas is a treatise of mat-related sedimentary features that one may expect to see in ancient terrigenous clastic sedimentary successions. By combining modern and ancient examples, the connection is made to likely formative processes and the utilization of these features in the interpretation of ancient sedimentary rocks.
1. Prologue: an introduction to microbial mats2. Structures left by modern microbial mats in their host sediments3. Classification of structures left by microbial mats in their host sediments4. Mat features in sandstones5. Microbial mats on muddy substrates - examples of possible sedimentary features and underlying processes6. Discussion of some problems: unusual features and the importance of terminology7. Examples of stratigraphic units bearing outstanding mat features8. New developments in research on microbial mats9. Palaeoenvironmental and chronological relationships of mat-related features, and sequence stratigraphic implications of microbial mats10. Conclusions
