Precambrian stromatolites have received in depth, consideration
from geologists and paleontologists; they were indeed searching for
biosedimentary structures that were sufficiently characteristic and
widely distributed to be considered as useful tools for
stratigraphic correlation. Silicified stromatolites are also of
interest as they contain preserved traces of ancient life.
Calcareous Phanerozoic stromatolites have not received very much
attention from geologists. Logan's too schematic morphological
classification of 1964, was not so helpful to the knowledge of
Phanerozoic stromatolites because neither their morphology nor
their microstructure were studied in the same detail in which
Proterozoic stromatolites have now been described. We therefore
know little about the Phanerozoic stromatolites which, do, however,
show an interesting range of diversification. A major questions
stiII remaining to be answered include the history of stromatolite
development and wether their morphology has "evolved" in addition
to detailed information concerning Cenozoic nonmarine stromatolites
which precipitate carbonate and the Recent giant stromatolites
which trap particles. For these reasons Claude Monty, in 1981,
launched the first volume of what was going to be a series on
"Phanerozoic stromatolites" in order to describe their morphology,
microstructure and paleoecology and to present them in their
stratigraphic context.
