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.
- The first full compilation of microbial mat features/structures preserved in the sliciclastic rock record
- High quality, full color photographs fully support the text
- Modern and ancient examples connect the formative processes and utilization of mat-related features in the interpretation of sedimentary rocks
