| 中文摘要 | Reefs in the Cannindah Limestone at Old Cannindah Homestead, Monto region, Queensland, are exceptional in Eastern Australian Mississippian (Carboniferous) build-ups because of their largest dimension and differentiated microbial fabrics. Calcimicrobes and microbial carbonates, which represent a marine reefal environment occupied by both corals and sponges, are particularly abundant in the reef framework fabrics compared to other Mississippian build-ups in the world. They contributed significantly to the rigidity of the reefs on a crinoidal bank setting. Metazoans and calcimicrobes coexisted and played different roles in reef construction. Reef-building and cavity-dwelling microbes include Renalcis, Palaeomicrocodium, Girvanella, problematic Aphralysia, Ortonella, Shamovella-like, Rothpletzella-like, Wetheredella-like, and some problematic calcimicrobes, which occur in inter-corallite infillings of fasciculate rugose corals, in thrombolitic textures, in or within deposits between microdigitate stromatolite and laminated microbialites, and in reef cavities. Some reef intervals are entirely formed by Renalcis, Palaeomicrocodium, problematic calcimicrobes, and cement. Girvanella, as an encrusting calcimicrobe, generally bound bioclasts and micrite, or together with cement, formed boundstone. Microbial carbonates, including thrombolites, microencrusters, microdigitate stromatolite, laminated and tabular microbialite, irregular layers of self-encrusting vesicles, and microbial micrite, occur commonly in reef framestone and boundstone. The role of microbes and relevant microbial carbonates in the Cannindah reef limestone highlighted a significant account of microbial facies complexes associated with the Mississippian reefs. |
