No full textAus dem Unter-/Mittelalb von Nordspanien wird ein Profil mit bis zu 8 m mächtigen Lithocodium/ Bacinella Boundstones vorgesteUt. Die mikrofaziell-sedimentologische Analyse des Profils crgibt für die Lithocodium/ Bacinella Bänke eine bathymetrische Position vom tieferen Subtidal bis flachsten Subtidal/lntertidal. Die maximale Tiefenposition ist an die photische Zone gebunden, die wiederum durch das Ausmaß toniger Suspensionen beeinflußt wird. Die bathymetrische Obergrenze ist mechanisch kontrolliert (z.B. WeUenenergie, Tidenströme). Lithocodium/Bacinella ist zusammen mit anderen Algen/Mikroben ein charakteristischer Bestandteil thrombolithischer Mud Mounds (z.B. Gandara Mound). Die funktionelle Rolle von Lithocodium/Bacinella bei der Mud Mound Genese umfaßt Baffling und Binding, AutomikritProduktion durch Kalzifizierung innerhalb organischer Schleimhüllen und eine Mikritproduktion über intensive Bohraktivitäten an eingelagerten karbonatischen Hartteilen. Das massenhafte Auftreten von Lithocodillm/ Bacinella und diversen Algen/Mikroben kann mit einer längerfristigen Eutrophierung des Lebensraumes oder mit Schwankungen der Karbonat-Alkalinät des Meerwassers erklärt werden.A section including Lithocodium/ Bacinella boundstones with a thickness of up to 8 m is reported from the Lower /Middle Albian of northern Spain. According to microfacies and sedimentological analyses the bathymetric position of the Lithocodium/ Bacinella banks ranges from deeper subtidal to shaUowest subtidal/intertidal conditions. The maximum depth is related to the photic zone, which ,itself is controled by the amount of muddy suspension. The upper bathymetric limit is mechanically defin'ed and corresponds to increased depositional energy (i.e. waves and tidal currents). Together with other algae and microbes Lithocodium/ Bacinella is a major constituent of thrombolitic mud mounds (Gandara mound). In the context of mud mound genesis the functional role of Lithocodium/ Bacinella includes baffling and binding, the production of micrite via the calcification inside of mucilagenous sheaths, and via intensive boring activities upon and inside of skeletal hardparts. The mass occurrence of Lithocodium/ Bacinella with associated algae and microbes may be explained by a longer ranging eutrophism of the environment or by shifts in seawater carbonate alkalinity

Early Neoproterozoic Origin of the Metazoan Clade Recorded in Carbonate Rock Texture: REPLY
No full textWe (Neuweiler et al., 2009) used scanning electron microscopic, fluorescence spectroscopic, fluorescence microscopic, and thin-section analytical work from modern, Cretaceous, Silurian, and early Neoproterozoic reefal material to make a geological case for an early Neoproterozoic origin of animals. In a modern analogue for ancient petrographic textures, degradative calcification of the extracellular collagenous matrix (ECM) of a modern siliceous sponge can be directly observed (Neuweiler et al., 2007)

Soluble humic substances from in situ precipitated microcrystalline calcium carbonate, internal sediment, and spar cement in a Cretaceous carbonate mud-mound
No full textAlbian carbonate mud-mound limestones exposed near Iraneta, northern Spain, show a fabric- and particle-specific fluorescence. Intense fluorescence is restricted to in situ precipitated microcrystalline (automicritic) fabrics, calcified demosponges, and coralline sponges. Intermediate intensity derives from micritized bioclasts, pellets, and a rim of marine bladed cement. Most invertebrate skeletons, late-diagenetic equant cement, and crosscutting zones of dolomitization are weakly to nonfluorescent. Internal microcrystalline sediment (allomicrite) and red algae debris have variable fluorescence. Correlation between rock fluorescence and soluble humic substances was evaluated from 3 g of automicrite, allomicrite, and cement. Time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) with ultra-short pulses on two extracrystalline fractions (NaOH-soluble) and two intracrystalline fractions (HCl-soluble and NaOH-soluble) showed that most of the soluble humic substances of automicrite are within the crystals; but conversely, are significantly enriched on outer surfaces of allomicrite. Spar cement is close to detection limits. Fluorescence lifetimes are in the range of 0.5-2 ns and 3.5-6 ns. We conclude that precipitation of automicrite took place during oxidative organic matter diagenesis, i.e., during condensation reactions of degradation products of marine biopolymers. By contrast, allomicrite formed by skeletal breakdown followed by ingestion, organic coating, and reingestion during deposit feeding. A humic-substance-based model of marine polymer gels represents a new approach for the understanding of ancient polygenetic carbonate muds, so typical of Phanerozoic mud-mounds in deeper water settings
