| The Upper Famennian stromatoporoids from South Tatar arch (Volga-Ural petroleum province) | |
| For the first time, remains of the stromatoporoids Stylostroma absurdа Antropova and Anostylostroma sp. have been found in strata of the Over-Volga level of the Upper Famennian. Stromatoporoid coenosteums are associated with gray, microbial, lumpy limestones, which include thin interbeds of dark gray rocks with a high organic matter content. Co-occurrence of stromatoporoids with microbial formations can be considered symbiotic and are indicators of shallow-water environments, ranging in depth from meters to a few tens of meters. This suggests that the limestones and interbedded interbeds with high organic matter content may have formed in shallow water. Keywords: stromatoporoids, Over-Volga level, Upper Famennian, South Tatar arch, Volga-Ural petroleum province. |
