Biotic activities are involved in almost all sedimentation processes throughout the
evolutionary history of life on our planet. However, deep-time organism-induced …

Trace fossils represent records of the activity of both epifaunal and infaunal animals,
providing significant information for a deeper understanding of Earth's past environments …

Understanding the pattern of spatial permeability distribution in carbonate reservoirs
strongly depends on its relationships to geological factors. Despite this importance, the …

The propagation of acoustic waves in rocks is directly influenced by the rocks' elastic
properties. To evaluate petrophysical properties from acoustic data, it is essential to …

Redox variations across the Permian‐Triassic boundary (PTB) have long been debated,
especially during the proliferation of PTB microbialites. Here, we report redox fluctuations …

Stromatolites have been widely reported from the Archean and Paleoproterozoic
successions worldwide, and they could represent one of oldest life forms on Earth. Of these …

Abstract The Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME) strongly devastated marine
ecosystems, and, consequently, sponges, especially the reef-building clades, suffered …

Unusual sedimentary deposits such as stromatolites, thrombolites, dendrolites, and giant
ooids are widely distributed in the Permian–Triassic boundary (PTB) successions of shallow …

Abstract The Tonian Longfengshan biota is among the earliest known fossil assemblages
with a predominance of the benthic macroalgal fossil Longfengshania Du, 1982, which is …

Microbialite‐producing microorganisms that inhabit the Puna lakes are traditionally
considered constituents of fragile microsystems, unable to resist important environmental …
