Summary Detailed analysis of microfabrics in Hamelin Pool stromatolites leads to reinterpretation of the origins of these structures. Previous studies have concluded that Shark Bay stromatolites form primarily as a result of sediment trapping and binding by microorganisms. Our results suggest that microbial precipitation of microcrystalline carbonate (micrite), as both framework and cement in these...
Lacustrine stromatolites of the Norian Arnstadt Formation (“Steinmergelkeuper”) occur on top of asymmetric flooding–evaporation cycles of a closed lake basin. They have been investigated with regard to associated lithofacies and biota, microfabric and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes. The stromatolites of the “Middle Grey Series” are brecciated and reworked by a flooding event of a subsequent lake...
Well-preserved dome-shaped carbonate stromatolites occur in the lowermost part of the Sinemurian of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal), at S. Pedro de Moel region (W of the basin). Deposition in the region took place on a westward-dipping carbonate ramp. The stromatolitic mounds are not found anywhere else in the Sinemurian of the basin and therefore are regarded as specific bioevents. In contrast to...
Angular unconformites between Jurassic and Miocene strata are exposed in the sea cliffs of Cala Cigonya on the northwest coast of Menorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain. The geological discontinuities represent rocky shores on opposite sides of a former headland with 15 m of topographic relief. On the east flank, Jurassic dolomite is overlain by Upper Miocene (Tortonian to Messinian) breccia and...
Ongoing microbialite formation is described at two previously unreported sites in southern Sinai, Egypt. Samples were collected in the peritidal tropical environment of Nabq Bay and Hidden Bay (southern Sinai, Egypt). Field observations and sample analyses show evidence of both sediment trapping and biostabilization in bacterial mucilaginous sheaths and microbially induced mineralization, producing...
The first appearance of laminated stromatolites in sedimentary rocks around 3.5 billion years ago is generally accepted as evidence for the earliest advanced ecosystem. However, the bio-mechanisms leading to the construction of stromatolites continue to be poorly understood. Using a combination of microscopic and advanced spectroscopic techniques (STXM/NEXAFS/EELS) to analyze lithified laminae, living...
Recent gypsum stromatolites are forming along the margin as well as on the pond floor of the EMISAL saltworks, Fayium, Egypt. Gypsum precipitates are classified according to their morphology, fabrics, and crystal size into (1) subaqueous bottom gypsum crusts, (2) selenitic gypsum facies, (3) stromatolitic gypsum dome facies, and (4) gypsolite facies. Two types of microbial mats, lithifying and non-lithifying,...
