The significant role of sediment bio-retexturing within a contemporary carbonate platform system: Implications for carbonate microfacies development

The significant role of sediment bio-retexturing within a contemporary carbonate platform system: Implications for carbonate microfacies development

Assessments of carbonate platform reef–lagoon sediments and benthic habitats around Rodrigues Island (south-west Indian Ocean) have been undertaken in order to examine carbonate sediment texturalproperties and the controls on texturally-defined sediment fabrics. Reef–lagoon sediments, sampled from a...
