Lithification of pelletal grains by microbially mediated organomineralization
Fecal pellets are key components of the biological carbon pump and a source of nutrients.
When cohesively bound and cemented, they become the most abundant non-skeletal grains …

Organic matter influence on ooid formation: New insights into classic examples (Great Salt Lake, USA; Triassic Germanic Basin, Germany)
Ooids are coated grains composed of a tangential or radial cortex growing around a
nucleus. They are common in carbonate deposits of almost any geological age and provide …

Microbe-mineral interactions in the microstromatolitic crusts of the lacustrine chimneys and volcanic bedrock of Lake Abhe, Republic of Djibouti
Utilising a multi-analytical approach, we investigated centimetre-scale domical and tabular
microstromatolitic encrustations from Lake Abhe, a hyperalkaline and hypersaline …
