New microfossils from the neoproterozoic (Sinian) Doushantuo Formation, Wengan, Guizhou Province, southwestern China
Abstract
Well-preserved, three-dimensional microfossils are reported from a 3.7 m thick black phosphorite bed in the Sinian Doushantuo Formation at Wengan Phosphate Mine, Guizhou Province, southwest China. The diverse assemblage, observed in thin sections, comprises planktonic acritarchs, benthic cyanobacteria, bacteria, and thallophytes. Twenty one taxa are recognized, including 1 new genus and 4 new species. Acritarchs include Baltisphaeridium rigidum sp. nov., Vulcanisphaera phacelosa sp. nov., Comasphaeridium magnum Zhang 1984, Cymatiosphaeroides yinii sp. nov., Dicrospinasphaera zhangii gen. et sp. nov., Echinosphaeridium maximum (Yin, 1987) Knoll, 1992, Ericiasphaera sp., ?Ericiasphaera sp., Hocosphaeridium scaberfacium Zang & Walter, 1992, Meghystrichosphaeridium sp., Meghystrichosphaeridium wenganensis Chen & Liu, 1986, Polyhedrosphaeridium sp. The cyanobacteria and bacteria comprise Paratetraphycus giganteus Zhang, 1984, Gloeodiniopsis lamellosa (Schopf, 1968) Knoll & Golubic, 1979, Globophycus sp., Myxococcoides sp., type A, Siphonophycus rugosum (Maithy, 1975) Hofmann & Jackson, 1994, Siphonophycus robustum (Schopf, 1968) Knoll, Swett & Mark, 1991, Gunflintia sp., and a rod-like bacterium (type B). At least 6 distinctive acritarch taxa from the black phosphorite bed are also represented in the Pertatataka assemblage reported by Zang & Walter (1992) in the Amadeus Basin of central Australia, suggesting a biostratigraphic correlation with the Pertatataka Formation, which underlies strata containing Ediacaran metazoans and overlies Varangerage glacial sediments. Abundant bacteria-like coccoids and filaments preserved in the vesicles of many acritarch specimens attest to the presence of a thriving microbiota of decomposers within dead acritarchs, and a specimen of Thallophyca ramosa Zhang 1989 has well-preserved reproductive structures that comparable with those of the modern rhodophyte Bangia and the phaeophyte Fucus.

Soft tissues of metazoan embryos, larvae, adults, and algae appear to have been mineralized in the Doushantuo phosphorites.
“In addition to replacing carbonate sediments, soft tissues of metazoan embryos, larvae, adults, and algae also appear to have been mineralized (26–29).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
