Summary

In reviewing those fossil algae associated with biotic reefs since the beginning of the Mesozoic, examples are discussed of algae showing evolution attributed to reef or peri-reefal conditions, those showing diversification attributed to reef environments, and those with frequent occurrence in reef conditions but with evolution not directly attributable to reefs.
