The results indicate that microbial carbonates occur in Shuiweiling beachrocks and cements related to microbial activitives are common. Microbial carbonates were mainly developed on the surfaces of coral skeletons and within the coral (fragments and shivers) skeletal cavities,and rarely grew in interspaces formed by coral and other biological detritus. The growth morphologies of microbial carbonates are various, including stromatolitic lamination, thin crusts, dome-like, and microbialites. Microbial carbonates commonly trap fine-sized bioclasts, contain tubular filaments, and show laminated growth striation. Microbial carbonates within the coral skeletal cavities are generally stromatolitic cone-shaped, with a random growth direction along the bearing of trend of cavities, showing distinct growth laminae and recognizable growth phases. It is a special growth pattern of crypt microbial carbonates. Microbial cements occur mainly in shape of needle cement, calcified filaments, microborings, and calcified framboidal spheres. The needle cement is the most common type. These microbial cements indicate that microbial activities and microbial carbonates played an important role in beachrock formation in which carbonates were dominant components and the climate of tropical ocean monsoon was influential. Such microbial carbonates and microbial cementation have not been reported here from beachrocks along the northern shorelines of the South China Sea. The results support a clear microbial origin for certain carbonate cements in beachrocks, confirm that microbial carbonates are a significant contributor to carbonate sedimentation, and widen the knowledge of beachrocks from a new field.展开更多

They were found in the late Holocene high beachrock of 25--m ele-vation on Longhu Hill of Houshijing, Pinghai Village, Putian County, Fujian Province. Theseanimal remains are found mostly between intertidal and subtidal zones in the tropical areafrom the Miocene to the recent. The research results have confirmed that the coastal sedi-ments belong to the beachrock, which is formed in the tropical coastal areas. This paperproposes that the study of large animal remains in the beachrock can provide a scientificbase for the understanding of the sedimentographic environment of the beachrock, andvaluable information for the study on paleoclimate and paleo-shoreline evolution.展开更多
