Because of the biological origin of many siliceous deposits, their geochemical transformation in the marine environment, and their occurrence in many formations around the world, oceanographers, paleontologists, geologists, geochemists, and sedimentologists are working closely together to trace the evolution of such deposits.

The collection of papers in this volume is a direct result of the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists Research Symposium on "e;Thermal History of Sedimentary Basins: Methods and Case Histories"e; held as part of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention in New Orleans in March 1985.

In the extensive field of earth sciences, with its many subdisciplines, the trans- fer of knowledge is primarily established via personal communication, during meetings, by reading journal articles, or by consulting books.

Landscapes of the past have always held an inherent fascination for ge- ologists because, like terrestrial sediments, they formed in our environment, not offshore on the sea floor and not deep in the subsurface.

A major reason for the lack of understanding of argillaceous rocks is that the key to understanding their history lies in their microfabric.
