COVER EXPLANATION.—Microbial mats of the lower intertidal zone displaying polygonal desiccation cracks, Inland Sea, southern Qatar. Variably-structured microbial mats can be observed in low-energy intertidal settings from around the Qatar coastline, forming in evaporated marine waters ranging in salinity between 42 and 350 psu, or near-normal marine to halite-saturated concentrations. In most examples significant lithification is not observed. See Rivers et al., this issue.
