- •
A new suite of carbonaceous microstructures from the stratiform Apex chert have been described.
- •
NanoSIMS, laser Raman and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to characterise the carbon.
- •
Primary non isopachous wrinkled laminations, roll-ups and grain trapping were identified.
- •
Data are consistent with the presence of microbially induced sedimentary microstructures in the stratiform Apex chert.
