The rock record contains a rich variety of sedimentary surface textures on siliciclastic
sandstone, siltstone and mudstone bedding planes. In recent years, an increasing number …

Abstract The Eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco hosts an early Ediacaran turbiditic series
(Saghro Group)(630–600 Ma) unconformably overlain by thick late Ediacaran (580–550 Ma) …

Microbial mats are complex ecological assemblages that have been present in the rock
record since the Precambrian and can still be found in extant marginalized environments …

The aim of this work is to assess the physicochemical conditions of the supratidal sediments
colonized by microbial mats at two sites from Rosales Harbor (Bahía Blanca Estuary …

Micro‐organisms producing microbially induced sedimentary structures, particularly
epibenthic cyanobacteria, are not facies‐dependent and could flourish in any environment if …

The study focus on the description of several MISS as erosional pockets and remnants,
flipped-over edges, and large microbial deformation structures as roll-ups, folds and gas …

Extensive areas covered by microbial mats have been found in the upper intertidal flats and
supratidal pools in the Red Sea coastal plain of south Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Numerous …

Microbial mats in coastal environments play an important role in both stabilizing the
sediment and preserving sedimentary structures. They represent the first biological systems …

This study documents the distribution of matgrounds in a wide variety of environments
recorded in the Ordovician Lashkerak and Ghelli Formations in the Alborz Mountains of …

Microbial fossils and textures are commonly preserved in Ediacaran and early Cambrian
coarse‐grained siliciclastic sediments that were deposited in tidal and intertidal marine …
