Stromatolite laminae contain microclotted structures, bacteria clump-like and coccoid-like spheroids.
Cloudy, mesh-shaped micrite nuclei rimmed by euhedral sparry calcite crystals
Abundant authigenic micro-quartz crystals in association with Fe bearing-illite clay minerals
The formation of micro-quartz crystals from a microbial reduction of a Fe-bearing smectite precursor by SRB
Susong stromatolite grew in euxinic–anoxic environment, indicating that SRB bloom extended into the end-Spathian.
