Abstract

The study of Silurian sediments in the central part of the Altai Mountains (Gorny Altai) by limestone dissolution has revealed two groups of spherical objects; large microspheres 90–120 µm and small nanofossils (nanospheres) 5–18 µm in diameter. Their double-layered walls are composed of standard-sized siderite microcrystals replaced by goethite. The Altai microspheres have a low Ca content (<0.5 wt %) so cannot be interpreted as calcispheres. The Altai Silurian microspheres and nanofossils (nanospheres) are tentatively attributed to biomineralized remains of loricae (shell-like envelopes) of various euglenoid alga generations.

阿尔泰山脉志留纪的微球:形态、化学成分、生物矿化和成因

摘要

通过石灰岩溶解对阿尔泰山脉(Gorny Altai)中部志留系沉积物的研究揭示了两组球形物体;直径为 90–120 µm 的大微球和直径为 5–18 µm 的小纳米化石(纳米球)。它们的双层壁由标准尺寸的菱铁矿微晶组成,被针铁矿取代。阿尔泰微球的钙含量低(<0.5 wt%),因此不能解释为钙球。阿尔泰志留纪微球和纳米化石(纳米球)暂时归因于各种眼虫藻世代的 loricae(壳状包膜)的生物矿化遗骸。
