We document three aspects of microbialite resurgence that followed the Late Ordovician extinction event (LOEE) using centimetre-scale sedimentological logs of carbonate rocks deposited on the shelf ...
Microbialites accrete through microbe-environment interactions and incorporate elements like arsenic, creating enrichment patterns that can preserve evidence of ancient microbial activity. However, ...
The scaffolds that help hold together the world's tropical reefs are at risk from acidification due to increased carbon dioxide in the world's oceans, according to geoscientists at the University of ...

Scientists have suspected that increasing ocean acidity would weaken and thin the structures underpinning tropical reefs. Now they have irrefutable evidence dating back 30,000 years. The scaffolds ...
