During the 2nd International Symposium on Fossil Algae, organized
by the University P. & M. Curie, Paris, in April 1979, a
special session was devoted to stromatolites; 29 papers were
presented in French, English, or Russian. Among the papers selected
originally, 16 were carried out to the final stage by their
authors. They are presented here in their stratigraphical order.
This selection does not pretend to cover the problem of Phanerozoic
stromatolites in its entirety, but relates case histories. This
should be the seed for further books analyzing and illus trating
the paleoecology, the niche and the features of Phanerozoic
stromatolites, namely throughout the Mesozoic and the Paleozoic,
where the data are still scarce; this will lead to naturalistic
views on the evolutionary features of Post Riphean stromes, and
will sharpen tools to interpret their Precambrian ancestors. Let me
introduce the papers. CLAUDE L. V. MONTY formalizes two basic types
of crypt algal micro structures: the spongiostromate and the
porostromate microstructures respectively; the rise of the latter
around the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary represents a very
significant step in the evolution of cyano bacterial
microstructures and in their interaction with the environment. K.
K. VERMA and G. BARMAN present a lower Phanerozoic stroma tolitic
assemblage from Rajasthan associated with paralic alluvial fans fed
by block faulting. Main stromatolite developments occurred during
periods of low sedimentation and negligable tectonics, and formed
in very shallow marine water. J."
