The problem of bedding, a basic feature of most sedimenta- ry
rocks, is as old as the science of geology itself. We use bedding
in structural geology, regional correlation and for estimating the
time involved in the strati'9Taphic record. Nevertheless we still
are far from fully under- standing the processes involved. This is
particularly true for carbonate rocks, where primary phenomena are
sometimes difficult to separate from the secondary diagenetic over-
print. After new interest in the subject had arisen from the
International Deep Sea Drilling Project and from pa- leoecological
studies in our own research group (Sonder- forschungsbereich 53
"Pal6kologie"), a Rundgesprach (work- shop) was held in Tlibingen
on April 25th - 27th 1980. The present volume, which resulted from
this symposium, con- tains a variety of contributions, including
some by col- leagues that were unable to attend the meeting itself.
Papers whose authors did not submit an elaborated manu- script, are
represented by abstracts in the form presented for the meeting. Our
own interest in the problem envolved from studies of
"Fossil-Bonanzas", such as the Solnhofen lithographic lime- stones
or the bituminous Posidonia shales, in which the unusual kind and
preservation of fossils indicated extre- me environmental
conditions. During these studies (see sununary reports in Zbl.
Geol. Palaont. II, 1976 and N. Jb. Geol. Palaont. , 157, 1978) we
realized that even in these cases one single environmental model is
usually insuffi- cient to explain the conflicting evidences.
