摘要

The Neoproterozoic Beck Spring Dolomite contains a diverse range of microbialite morphologies, including thrombolitic, stromatolitic, and composite microbial textures. The co-occurrence of these microbialites provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the environmental and biological controls on microbialite morphogenesis, and in particular, on microstructure development. New informal stratigraphic members are defined based on primary depositional facies assemblages: the lower laminated member, the middle intraclastic member, the middle thrombolitic member, and the upper cherty member. Facies of the Beck Spring Dolomite represent a microbially dominated environment with deposition from the intertidal to deep subtidal zones.;Beck Spring stromatolitic, thrombolitic, and composite microbialites from the thrombolitic member formed on a shallow marine platform in the intertidal to shallow subtidal environment with high lateral variability in water depth and associated environmental factors such as exposure, wave energy, and sedimentation rate. Although the distribution of thrombolitic and stromatolitic microbialites is influenced by environmental conditions, their internal fabrics reflect diverse community compositions. The co-occurrence of laminated and clotted fabrics in compound microbial microstructures demonstrates that morphologically distinct microbial communities occurred simultaneously. Following development and early cementation of Beck Spring microbialites, some microstructures were significantly modified from their original form by biological degradation and physical disruption in the diagenetic environment. These observations demonstrate that the dominant control on some microstructures is biologic, and taphonomic processes are not equally important in the development of all microbial microstructures. Clotted microstructures have multiple origins.
