Microbialites: Organosedimentary Deposits of Benthic Microbial Communities
Abstract
Microbialites are organosedimentary deposits formed from interaction between benthic microbial communities (BMCs) and detrital or chemical sediments. Processes involved in the formation of calcareous microbialites include trapping and binding of detrital sediment (forming microbial boundstones), inorganic calcification (forming microbial tufa), and biologically influenced calcification (forming microbial framestones). Microbialites contrast with other biological sediments in that they are generally not composed of skeletal remains. -from Authors

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.
