Exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced in the photic zone and surface sediments sequester calcium. Below the sediment surface, heterotrophic bacteria degrade EPS, releasing calcium resulting in carbonate precipitation. This process, which continues for millennia deep in the core, is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

This paper discusses a new model concerning the precipitation mechanismand significance of anhydrite cement in tight sandstone. Anhydrite cement ismainly formed by the dissolution and reprecipitation of early‐diageneticcalcite cements, feldspars and volcanic rock fragments at the mesodiageneticstage.

We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia Principale was controlled by hydrothermal dolomitisation from fault‐controlled fluids during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic rifting phase. Dolomitisation

Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.

Diverse living microbial communities showing stacked mats and finger‐like branching examples that grow with the support of reed grass (phytomicrobialites) as well as aragonitic stromatolitic tufa have been rediscovered in the alkaline and hypersaline Lake Nuoertu in the Badain Jaran Desert N. China.
