Landscapes of the past have always held an inherent fascination for
ge ologists because, like terrestrial sediments, they formed in our
environment, not offshore on the sea floor and not deep in the
subsurface. So, a walk across an ancient karst surface is truly a
step back in time on a surface formed open to the air, long before
humans populated the globe. Ancient karst, with its associated
subterranean features, is also of great scientific interest because
it not only records past exposure of parts of the earth's crust,
but preserves information about ancient climate and the movement of
waters in paleoaquifers. Because some paleokarst terranes are
locally hosts for hydrocarbons and base metals in amounts large
enough to be economic, buried and exhumed paleokarst is also of
inordinate practical importance. This volume had its origins in a
symposium entitled "Paleokarst Systems and
Unconformities-Characteristics and Significance," which was orga
nized and convened by us at the 1985 midyear meeting of the Society
of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists on the campus of the
Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The symposium had its
roots in our studies over the last decade, both separately and
jointly, of a number of major and minor unconformities and of the
diverse, and often spectacular paleokarst features associated with
these unconformities."
