From the Preface The chapters of this book contain contributions
from an international group of specialists. They address some
important themes in both modern and ancient reef systems. Some
chapters contain snapshots' of reefs of particular intervals, while
others touch on relevant themes of both modern and ancient reefs -
themes that weave their way through reefs of all ages. This book
opens and sets the stage with an introduction to both modern and
ancient reefs and reef ecosystems. This chapter is also intended as
a basic introduction for students, general geologists, and
professionals or others who may be unfamiliar with reefs and reef
ecosystems. The chapter addresses the living coral reef ecosystem,
stressing among other relevant factors, the importance of
ecological and physical interactions between the organisms and
their environment. The chapter also addresses mass extinction and
provides a general overview of the history of reefs.
