摘要
Mesoproterozoic Dahongyu Formation (1 650 ~1 600 Ma) is characterized by subtidal grayish white thick and blocky fine-grained quartz sandstone in Xinglong area of Hebei Province. This paper described in detail sedimentary features and preliminarily analyzed the origin of the MISS. The MISS on the sandstone surfaces of Dahongyu Formation provides materials for the study of the coordinated development relationship between microbial mats and sedimentation in the Proterozoic shallow marine environment. The in-depth study of the MISS is beneficial for the better understanding of the Proterozoic siliciclastic depositional system and contributes to promoting the development of sedimentology.
