1 2 J. H. SCHROEDER and B. H. PURSER 1 Introduction A symposium
convened during the Vth International Coral Reef Congress in
Papeete, Tahiti, 1985, encouraged the editors to assemble this
volume of case studies by participating and, especially, by
nonparticipating scientists. An attempt was made to include case
studies from various regions and geological periods, carried out on
various scales from regional to ultrastructural. We hope to present
an overall view of reef diagenesis. Although the volume focuses on
reef diagenesis, fields also to be considered are biology,
paleontology, and sedimentary facies distribution, as they provide
the context and, to some extent, encompass the determinants of
diagenetic processes. The scope has been limited to reef diagenesis
because we feel that reefs have relatively clearly defined
geometries, which facilitate the evaluation of diagenetic trends
and the definition of diagenetic models. On the other hand, their
many different components make reefs somewhat more complex than
other deposits, and this creates difficulties in deciphering
diagenetic histories; the study of reefs, therefore, is not the
simplest manner of solving the many problems relating to carbonate
diagenesis. An additional reason for evaluating reef diagenesis is
the reservoir potential of these carbonate bodies. To illustrate
the point, in the recent collection of 35 case studies of carbonate
reservoirs (Roehl and Choquette 1985), reefs were involved in 15.
The emphasis on porosity development in many studies of the present
volume is therefore not of mere academic interest.
