shelf environments and open-marine basinal settings
started during the Triassic, increased in the Jurassic and
became a dominant process in Cretaceous and Ceno-
zoic times. The influx of shallow-water algal material
derived from platforms into slope and basinal settings
is known already from the Cambrian, and is a common
feature in Mesozoic periplatform carbonates.
Cyanobacteria, charophycean algae as well as a few
green algae are important constituents of nonmarine
Mesozoic and Cenozoic lacustrine carbonates.
Basics: Calcimicrobes and algae
Far more general texts and overviews deal with calcare-
ous algae than most invertebrate groups.
Taxonomically based overviews are listed at the end of
the relevant paragraphs.
