The role of microbes in accretion, lamination and early lithification of modern marine stromatolites (2000, background): “Microscopy and culture experiments have revealed an unusual process of boring and infilling associated with Solentia”
Processes of carbonate precipitation in modern microbial mats (2009, background): “…that rapidly lithify, forming aragonitic micritic laminae, sealing the underlying ooids; and (3) mats periodically colonized by the coccoid cyanobacteria Solentia, which bore and fuse ooids together to form well-indurated layers (MacIntyre et al., 2000; Reid and MacIntyre, 2000; Reid et al., 2000).”
