This first IAS Special Publication contains the oral presentations
from a special symposium on pelagic sediments held in Zurich in
1973. The aim of the symposium was to bring together sea-borne
researchers involved with the Deep Sea Drilling Project and
land-locked researchers studying ancient sediments.

Introduction.
Plate stratigraphy and the fluctuating carbonate line.
Preservation of cephalopod skeletons and carbonate dissolution
on ancient Tethyan sea floors.
Sedimentology of Palaeozoic pelagic limestones: the Devonian
Griotte (Southern France) and Cephalopodenkalk (Germany).
Deep-water limestones from the Devonian-Carboniferous of the
Carnic Alps, Austria.
Pelagic ooze-chalk-limestone transition ands its implications
for marine stratigraphy.
Some aspects of cementation in chalk.
Diagenesis of Upper Cretaceous chalks from England, Northern
Ireland and the North Sea.
Maastrichian chalk of north-west W Europe - a pelagic shelf
sediment.
Magnesian-calcite nodules in the Ionian deep sea: an actualistic
model for the formation of some nodular limestones.
Origin of red nodular limestones (Ammonitico Rosso,
Knollenkalke) in the Mediterranean Jurassic: a diagenetic
model.
Deposition and diagenesis of silica in marine sediments.
Chertification of oceanic sediments.
Petrography and diagenesis of deep-sea cherts from the central
Atlantic.
Formation of deep-sea chert: role of the sedimentary
environment.
Siliceous turbisites: bedded cherts as redeposited ocean
ridge-derived sediments.
Radiolarian cherts, pelagic limestones and igneous rocks in
eugeosynclinal assemblages.
Origin and fate of ferromenganoan active ridge sediments.
Pelagic sediments in the Cretaceous and Tertiary history of the
Troodos massif, Cyprus.
Encrusting organisms in deep-sea manganese nodules
