From black-and-white to colour in the Silurian
Ironstones and iron-rich limestones regularly occur as components of time-specific intervals
of the Palaeozoic as well as in younger times (Brett et al., 2012--this issue). Silurian …

Shallow-marine dysoxia across the Permian–Triassic boundary: evidence from pyrite framboids in the microbialite in South China
The end-Permian mass extinction resulted in the collapse of reef ecosystems and the
subsequent formation of microbialites in shallow carbonate platforms in South China. Large …

Tracing the composition and origin of fluids at an ancient hydrocarbon seep (Hollard Mound, Middle Devonian, Morocco): a Nd, REE and stable isotope study
For the first time, Nd isotope signatures combined with rare earth element (REE)
concentrations were used in investigations of ancient seep carbonates. The study was …

Suppressed competitive exclusion enabled the proliferation of Permian/Triassic boundary microbialites
During the earliest Triassic microbial mats flourished in the photic zones of marginal seas,
generating widespread microbialites. It has been suggested that anoxic conditions in …

Skeletal vs microbialite geobiological role in bioconstructions of confined marine environments
The dark and confined conditions of submarine caves allow the development of cryptic
bioconstructions. They have been named “biostalactites” due to their distinctive growth from …
