Coulson ◀ Stromatolites ▶ 2018 ICC 379 Figure 5. Macro-scale description of bed 11. A. Arial view taken from drone showing several hundred in-situ microbialites. Darker colors make it difficult to see the microbialites on the periphary of the image, but the entire surface is covered with them (arrows). Scale bar = 1 m. Surfaces such as this were quite common for this bed at every one of the seven outcrop locations due to the fissile nature of the overlying strata. B. In-situ microbialite in growth position and attached to cross-bedded grainstone showing widening up motif. C. Close up view of some microbialites in A. D. Several forms weathering out of the bed provide a 3D glimpse at microbialites, interspaces and positions of growth. Image in 3A with thanks to Loma Linda University.
