The earth where we live is the only planet of our solar system that
holds a mass of water we know as the ocean, covering 70.8% of the
earth's surface with a mean depth of 3,800 m. When using the term
ocean, we mean not only the water and what it contains, but also
the bottom that supports the water mass above and the atmosphere on
the sea surface. Modern oceanography thus deals with the water, the
bottom of the ocean, and the air thereon. In addition, varied
interactions take place between the ocean and the land so that such
interface areas are also extended domains of oceanography. In
ancient times our ancestors took an interest in nearshore seas,
making them an object of constant study. Deep seas, on the other
hand, largely remained an area beyond their reach. Modern academic
research on deep seas is said to have been started by the first
round-the-world voyage of Her Majesty's R/V Challenger I from 1872
to 1876. It has been only 120 years since the British ship
leftPortsmouth on this voyage, so oceanography can thus be
considered still a young science on its way to full maturity.
This monograph contains over fifty high-quality plates of electron
micrographs of limestones. It spans the field of limestones in age
from Cambrian to Recent, and in type from deep-sea oozes to
intertidal rocks. It represents the outcome of four years of
research in the new field of electron microscopy applied to rocks.
The illustrations show the spectacular results and much more is
revealed in fossils and textures than would be expected on the
basis of optical studies. Originally published in 1967. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
