Traditionally, fresh water carbonate research has focused on the sedimentology and
palaeontology of ancient lacustrine deposits. Lithofacies in such low‐energy deposits are …

Carbonate build-ups in lakes, hydrothermal and fluvial settings are characterized by
distinctive geometry, spatial distribution, fabrics and geochemical signature but also by …

In a modern peritidal microbial mat from Qatar, both biomediated carbonates and Mg‐rich
clay minerals (palygorskite) were identified. The mat, ca 5 cm thick, shows a clear lamination …

Microbialites are known from a range of terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and marginal
settings. The descriptive terminology used in each instance depends largely on the historical …

Microbialites comprise the mineralized record of early life on Earth and preserve a spectrum
of fabrics that reflect complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions. The relatively …

Marine cyanobacterial mats were cultured on coastal sediments (Nivå Bay, Øresund,
Denmark) for over three years in a closed system. Carbonate particles formed in two …

A modern lithifying biofilm, associated with fluvial calcareous tufa in southern Italy, is
composed of a complex community of micro‐organisms including autotrophic and …

For many years, sedimentary dolomite rocks have been considered to be primarily a
replacement product of the calcium carbonate components comprising the original …

Abstract The Holocene Wolfenden tufa deposit in south‐eastern British Columbia, western
Canada, preserves a unique record of the earliest stages of calcium carbonate deposition …

The relationship between environmental conditions and the development, mineralization
and preservation of modern tufa microbialites was investigated in a 1.1 km long freshwater …
