Microbial mats and thalassinid shrimp: Spatial and geochemical interactions in a modern intertidal environment

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.

Modern microbial landscape: Aerial mapping of microbially induced sedimentary structures forming in a coastal sabkha

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations
