Environment of calcium carbonate deposition west of Andros Island, Bahamas / by Preston E. Cloud, Jr. With sections on Mechanical characteristics of the sediments, by Paul D. Blackmon; Microbiology and biochemistry of sediments and overlaying water, by Frederick D. Sisler; Chemical analysis of the water, by Henry Kramer; The problem of calcium determination in sea water, by James H. Carpenter; Experimental consolidation of calcium carbonate sediment, by Eugene C. Robertson, Lynn R. Sykes and Marcia Newell.

A study of the sediments, waters, general ecology, precipitation mechanisms, and early diagenesis in an environment considered comparable to those in which some ancient aphanitic and pelletal limestones originated.
