Microorganisms in the Zone of Submarine Volcanic Eruptions at 535-513 Ma ()
ABSTRACT
New anatomical features revealed in some Early Cambrian calcareous
microfossils suggest comparison with Rhodophyta (red algae), which makes it
possible to define their taxonomic position. A taxonomically rich Early Cambrian
paleobiocoenosis has been discovered in northern Tien Shan, which exemplifies
the existence on earth at 535-513 Ma (million years) of morphologically complex
fungiform microorganisms and red algae in a shallow-water biotope where
environmental conditions favorable for life were created as a result of
submarine volcanic eruptions.
