Biomat-related lifestyles in the Precambrian
Abstract
Abstract The strange biota of Neoproterozoic sea bottoms become more understandable if we assume that otherwise soft sediments were sealed by firm and erosion-resistant biomats. This allowed "mat encrusters" (vendobionts; trilobozoan and other sponges) to get attached to sandy bottoms, and molluscan "mat scratchers" to scrape off an algal film, as if they were living on rocks. Minute conical "mat stickers" (Cloudina) probably required a sticky substrate to become stabilized in upright position. Horizontal burrows are interpreted as the works of worm-like "undermat miners." Only the latter lifestyle appears to go back to the Mesoproterozoic; the others emerged in Vendian times and virtually disappeared when matgrounds became restricted to hostile environments in the wake of the Cambrian ecological revolution.

“The absence of arthropod scratch marks (Seilacher 1999), though, is not too worrisome given that such traces would demand the presence of sclerotized appendages to cut through the ubiquitously present microbial mats, a character not necessitated by the presence of stemgroup panarthropods, or even deeply nested stemgroup arthropods, in Ediacaran-aged sediments.”

“This elevated preservation potential is likely to have been further enhanced by the lack of zooplankton (e.g. Butterfield, 1997; Rigby & Milsom, 2000) or motile benthic scavengers and deposit feeders (e.g. Seilacher, 1999; Bottjer et al., 2000).”

“In contrast, the abundance of wrinkle structures and related features on Precambrian siliciclastic bedding planes, has led to acceptance of the notion that microbial mats were much more widespread on the seafloor at that time, so that they had were more likely to be preserved (Fig. 2, Seilacher & Pflüger, 1994; Pflüger & Gresse, 1996; Seilacher, 1999; Pflüger, 1999).”

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.
