Let \(\overline M^3_1(c)\) denote the standard model of a Lorentzian space form with constant curvature \(c= 0,\pm 1\), that is, the Lorentz-Minkowski space \(L^3\), the de Sitter space-time \(S^3_1\) in \(E^4_1\) and the anti de Sitter space-time \(H^3_1\) in \(E^4_2\), respectively. The authors study some Lorentzian surfaces in \(\overline M^3_1(c)\) whose shape operators are not diagonalizable at least at one point. This is related with the notion of 2-type surfaces. They prove the following local classification theorem: If a (resp. null) 2-type Lorentzian surface in \(S^3_1\), \(H^3_1\) (resp. in \(L^3\)) admits a point where the shape operator is not diagonalizable, then it is locally a \(B\)-scroll.
