Abstract
Microfossils of presumably bacterial origin were found in 2.7–2.8 Ga banded ferruginous quartzites in Karelia and the Kola Peninsula. The determination of organic carbon content and balance calculations showed that these ferruginous quartzites accumulated in an organic-rich environment. A comparative analysis of the morphology of modern and Neoarchaean microorganisms suggests the bacterial origin of some of the magnetite in the studied quartzites.
期刊介绍:
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
