Biogenic Structures in the Silurian Stromatolites (Timan-Northern Ural Region)

Аннотация

The study of the Silurian stromatolites revealed the diversity of biogenic structures and similarity of their morphology to that of the bacterial forms found in the ancient Archean stromatolites and modern cyanobacterial mats. The diversity of biogenic structures indicates high activity of microorganisms that formed cyanobacterial mats and confirms the microbial nature of the Silurian stromatolite buildups of the Timan-Northern Ural region.
