Today, his original collection of foraminifera, bought by the Museum after his death, represents one of the most prestigious collections of the institution. However, for more than a century, it had been relegated to the reserves and to the good will of a few enthusiasts, while the priority of research study was given to the large vertebrate fossils. It survived the conflicts that affected the Palaeontology department, and was moved in response to construction works, wars and natural accidents such as the great flood of 1910. These different events, combined with inappropriate storage conditions, probably caused the fragility of the specimens. In order to better understand this phenomenon, known as Byne's decay, research has been undertaken to reconstruct the various storage points of the collection from its acquisition to the present day.

These microbial accumulations are exceptional not only for their diverse range of extreme conditions but also for their significance in understanding the early biosphere and earth's habitability. A description of these buildups provides insights into their Spatio-temporal distribution.

The upper part dominated by clastic stromatolites exhibits a variety of morphotypes ranging vertically from planar wrinkly laminated to large domes.

The increase in laminated fabrics and the decrease in clotted fabrics toward the top of the section indicate that environmental conditions were likely suitable for coexisting both fabrics during microbial carbonate accretion.
