Modern marine stromatolites of Little Darby Island, exuma archipelago, Bahamas: Environmental setting, accretion mechanisms and role of euendoliths

Abstract

The search for modern stromatolites was initiated by geologists in an attempt to understand the processes that governed the Earth for about five sixths of the history of Life. Entire land- and seascapes dominated by stromatolites are rare in the modern world of plants and animals. © 2011 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
