Zusammenfassung: | Microbial carbonates in space and time: introductionCarbonate build-ups in lacustrine, hydrothermal and fluvial settings: comparing depositional geometry, fabric types and geochemical signature -- Microbial carbonates: a sampling and measurement challenge for petrophysics addressed by capturing the bioarchitectural components -- Neoproterozoic -- Styles, origins and implications of syndepositional deformation structures in Ediacaran microbial carbonates (Nama Basin, Namibia) -- Influence of microbial framework on Cryogenian microbial facies, Rasthof Formation, Namibia -- Microbial communities and their primary to early diagenetic mineral phases; the record from Neoproterozoic microbialites of Qarn Alam, Oman -- Mesozoic -- Facies architecture of a microbial-siliceous sponge-dominated carbonate platform: the Bajocian of Moscardon (Middle Jurassic, Spain) -- Tectonic setting and stratigraphic architecture of an Early Cretaceous lacustrine carbonate platform, Sugar Loaf High, Santos Basin, Brazil -- Importance of depositional texture in pore characterization of subsalt microbialite carbonates, offshore Brazil -- An abiotic model for the development of textures in some South Atlantic early Cretaceous lacustrine carbonates -- Pre-salt microbialites from the Campos Basin (offshore Brazil): image log facies, facies model and cyclicity in lacustrine carbonates -- Cenozoic -- Characterization of environmental conditions during microbial Mg-carbonate precipitation and early diagenetic dolomite crust formation: Brejo do Espinho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil -- Petrography and characterization of microbial carbonates and associated facies from modern Great Salt Lake and Uinta Basin's Eocene Green River Formation in Utah, USA -- Geomicrobiology of carbonate microbialites in the Tahiti reef. Microbial carbonates (microbialites) are remarkable sedimentary deposits. They have the longest geological range of any type of biogenic limestones, form in the greatest range of different sedimentary environments, oxygenated the Earth's atmosphere and produce and, furthermore, store large volumes of hydrocarbons. This Special Publication provides significant contributions at a pivotal time in our understanding of microbial carbonates when their economic importance has become established and the results of many research programmes are coming to fruition. It is the first book to focus on the economic aspects of microbialites and in particular the giant pre-salt discoveries offshore Brazil. The volume contains papers on the processes involved in the formation of both ancient and modern microbialites and the diversity of style in microbial carbonate build-ups. Structures and fabrics from both marine and non-marine settings are discussed from throughout the geological record.-- Microbial carbonates (microbialites) are remarkable sedimentary deposits.
