Abstract

This collection of field itineraries represents a record of the progress made since the beginning of modern carbonate sedimentology, which can be thought of as beginning in mid to late 1950s. Since then, our understanding of carbonate sediments and rocks at all scales has improved enormously. The chapters in this volume are a testament to our current understanding of how carbonate successions develop and produce volumetrically large, three dimensional stratigraphic accumulations (platforms), from hundreds of metres to kilometres in thickness and hundreds of square kilometres in area. Our understanding of the processes by which such accumulations develop is based on modern examples but the present is not often a direct key to the past and thus there is a need to investigate in detail fossil carbonates from outcrops. The range of examples in this volume shows how the diverse types of these platforms have changed through geologic time and of the different styles of facies character, architecture, and diagenesis that they have undergone.
