Microbialites are organosedimentary deposits formed from interaction between benthic
microbial communities (BMCs) and detrital or chemical sediments. Processes involved in the …

Abstract The global End-Devonian Hangenberg Event was one of the most important mass
extinction events during the Phanerozoic eon. The stratigraphical, paleontological, and …

Deformation in the west is interpreted to reflect the docking of the Chilenia terrane whereas
concomitant structures in the east may be related to the accretion of the Argentine …

Microbial precipitation of calcium carbonate has played a vital role in the development of
carbonate platforms since their initiation in the Proterozoic. We report here the varied roles …

Abundant lagoonal oncoids occur in the Late Oxfordian Hauptmumienbank Member of the
Swiss Jura Mountains. Four oncoid types are observed in the studied sections and classified …

The information on benthic Triassic and Jurassic marine algae is scattered in about 1600
articles, most of which have been published during the past two decades. The Triassic algal …

The term" coated grains" was coined by Wolf (1960) as a substitute for Folk's (1959)"
oolites"," to include other concentrically formed materials such as pisolites"(Wolf 1960, p …

Exquisitely exposed Cambrian carbonates with exceptional thickness in North China offer a
unique opportunity for studying the biota evolution and Earth's history. Here we characterize …

Facies analyses on the Latemar isolated carbonate platform suggest a higher proportion of
microbial carbonates compared to literature. This is evident especially in the margin-upper …

This study illustrates features of the Cambrian oncoids and provides a comparison with other
microbial-related carbonate grains found in the Cambrian succession of the North China …
