Like all branches of the earth sciences, the study of microbial mats and the features they leave behind preserved within clastic sediments of various calibers, is rife with terminology. As terms are used over several decades, the original meanings often become more imprecise as shades of meaning are added to an initial definition. One example examined briefly here is the term ‘wrinkle mark’, discussed in greater detail in section (a) of this chapter.

An Ichnotaxonomic Approach to Wrinkled Microbially Induced Sedimentary Structures
ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are an important facet of recent paleoichnological work because of their taphonomic implications. MISS are extensively studied in terms of…

Structure of Microbial Mats and Biofilms
TLDR
This review will highlight some of the insights into the biological structure of biofilms and microbial mats, and how the structure is affected by the physical and chemical environment, species composition, and species interactions.
