Abstract Lacustrine stromatolites serve as important archives for recording environmental changes, and the detailed examination of their microfabrics is essential for understanding their formative processes and the environmental changes embedded within them.

Sedimentology and stromatoporoid paleoecology of Frasnian (Upper Devonian) mud mounds from southern Belgium [PDF]
Stromatoporoids are the most abundant large skeletal organisms in middle Frasnian carbonate mound environments of southern Belgium. They occur in environments ranging from flank and off-mound, mound core, shallow mound and restricted mound.

Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian non-stromatoporoid Porifera [PDF]
The Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian distributions of non-stromatoporoid sponges are reviewed. The earliest Cambrian faunas contain mostly hexactinellids, with protomonaxonids dominating middle Cambrian assemblages.

How to engineer a habitable planet: the rise of marine ecosystem engineers through the Phanerozoic
Abstract Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify their physical habitats in a way that alters resource availability and the structure of the communities they live in. The evolution of ecosystem engineers over the course of Earth history has thus been suggested to have been a driver of macroevolutionary and macroecological changes that are ...

Chapter 8 Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian non-stromatoporoid Porifera [PDF]
The Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian distributions of non-stromatoporoid sponges are reviewed. The earliest Cambrian faunas contain mostly hexactinellids, with protomonaxonids dominating middle Cambrian assemblages.

Assessing and processing three-dimensional photogrammetry, sedimentology, and geophysical data to build high-fidelity reservoir models based on carbonate outcrop analogues [PDF]
A three-dimensional (3-D) outcrop depositional facies investiga-tion of carbonate reservoir analogues requires a comprehensive integration of outcrop with "behind-the-outcrop" geophysical data.

Abstract Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C values) of marine carbonates are widely used to infer the relative burial rates of organic carbon, a source of oxygen to the ocean‐atmosphere system. This inference, however, is based on the assumption that ocean‐atmospheric carbon is buried either as organic carbon or as marine carbonate minerals. The burial

A giant boring in a Silurian stromatoporoid analysed by computer tomography [PDF]
This study describes the largest known Palaeozoic boring trace, Osprioneides kampto igen. et isp. nov., found within a stromatoporoid Densastroma pexisum from the Upper Visby Formation (lower Wenlock, Silurian) on the island of Gotland, Sweden ...

Abstract An unusually rich and diverse suite of virgianid brachiopods, hitherto poorly known, is systematically described here for the first time from the Ordovician–Silurian boundary interval (late Katian – Aeronian) of North Greenland. The Late Ordovician virgianids comprise typical taxa of the warm‐water Tcherskidium fauna (e.g.

Abstract Frutexites‐like microstructures are described from the exhumed Late Devonian reef complexes of the northern Canning Basin, Western Australia. Several high‐resolution imaging techniques, including X‐ray microcomputerised tomography, scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray fluorescence microscopy, were used to investigate morphology and ...
