Abstract
Phosphorites from the Pechenga Basin, with an age of 2.04 Ga, were produced by microorganisms. Phosphorites of the Pechenga Greenstone Belt were found in the form of numerous rounded, slightly deformed fragments (Fig. 1). The earliest Early Proterozoic (Pechenga) phosphorites show all the characteristics of a cyanobacterial mat—a prokaryotic benthic community united in a physical structure by the glycocalyx.
期刊介绍:
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
