The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Describing, characterizing and interpreting the nearly infinite variety of carbonate rocks are
conundrums–intricate and difficult problems having only conjectural answers–that have …

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate deposits consist of a suite of different types of mixing between
the two components, from bed (core-plug) to stratigraphic (seismic) scales, producing a high …

Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms,
important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of …

Rhodoliths (free-living coralline red algae) can thrive under a wide range of temperatures,
reduced light, and increased nutrient levels, and often form a distinct so-called rhodalgal …

In modern and Phanerozoic times, heterozoan carbonates group a large array of
depositional environments from the poles to the tropics. This global assessment reviews the …

Photozoan and heterozoan skeletal assemblages are controlled by their trophic
requirements (ie light-based photosynthesis versus other sources) and temperature …

Recent studies of low-latitude carbonates from SE Asia and Australia have revealed
deposits and platform-types that do not fit easily into the perceived view of 'warm …

The Oligocene represents a key interval during which coralline algae became dominant on
carbonate ramps and luxuriant coral reefs emerged on a global scale. So far, few studies …

What was known about crustose coralline algae (CCA) prior to the use of scuba came mostly
from dredging collections. This method usually resulted in damaged specimens and …
