Abstract

Abstract

As a complex marine ecosystem, reefs underwent a significant change in the composition of major builders during the Precambrian-Cambrian transition. The wide distribution of reef-building metazoans was likely a response to the co-evolution of life and oceans in the Early Cambrian. In this study, it performed a systematic sedimentological analysis on the archaeocyath-bearing reefs of the Xiannüdong Formation in the northern margin of the Upper Yangtze block. Petrological evidence indicates that the archaeocyaths may have contributed to the formation of the reefs individually or in combination with calcimicrobes. In some situations, archaeocyaths acted only as inhabitants of large thrombolitic reefs. The archaeocyath-dominated reefs are characterized by low-relief morphological units and partially cemented internal structures, and are thought to have formed in mid-ramp and inter-shoal environments with relatively low hydrodynamic conditions. Archaeocyath-calcimicrobial reefs and archaeocyath-bearing microbial reefs can form separately or develop as multiple stacked complexes in depositional successions thought to have formed in subtidal environments. Within the reef complexes, some archaeocyaths are coated or crusted by calcified microbes and few reefal cements are visible. The lack of archaeocyath-dominated reefs in shallow, high-energy conditions may be related to their small body size and thin skeletal structures, which cannot withstand the washing and destruction of waves and storms during this period. In addition, the relatively high nutrient levels in coastal environments, possibly caused by increased terrigenous input, may be more conducive to the development of calcimicrobe-dominated reef systems than archaeocyath-dominated reefs due to the greater nutrient competitiveness of the microbes.
