Also, laminated carbonate and sulfate sediments with dark organic interlaminae or films have served as criteria for peritidal or intertidal sedimentation under algal-mat control. Not all laminated sediments originated as algal mats in shallow or intertidal environments, and the nodular habit of anhydrite is a normal diagenetic fabric not indicative exclusively of the subaerial sabkha environment.
