Microbial Carbonates and High-Relief Carbonate Platforms
Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of microbial carbonates and high-relief carbonate platforms in this informative 1-hour 11-minute lecture. Delve into the dominance of microbial carbonates during Phanerozoic periods of skeletal biota crises and environmental perturbations. Examine non-actualistic examples of highly productive carbonate systems, focusing on late Palaeozoic, Triassic, and Jurassic depositional records. Investigate the controls on facies character, depositional geometry, and architecture of various high-relief carbonate platforms. Evaluate the responses of the microbial carbonate factory, stratal geometry, and platform growth to changes in accommodation. Gain valuable insights into these unique geological formations and their significance in Earth's history.
