Description and Table of Contents
Description
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.
Table of Contents
1. Prologue: an introduction to microbial mats

3. Classification of structures left by microbial mats in their host sediments
4. Mat features in sandstones
5. Microbial mats on muddy substrates - examples of possible sedimentary features and underlying processes
6. Discussion of some problems: unusual features and the importance of terminology
7. Examples of stratigraphic units bearing outstanding mat features
8. New developments in research on microbial mats
9. Palaeoenvironmental and chronological relationships of mat-related features, and sequence stratigraphic implications of microbial mats
