- •
Curved and sinuous Tieling Formation stromatolites reflect changes in current direction.
- •
They formed by agglutination, and accreted towards oncoming sediment: clastitropism.
- •
They show no clear evidence of heliotropism (growth towards the sun).
- •
Currents locally removed sufficient matrix to break and topple columns.
- •
Similar Mesoproterozoic columns occur in Siberia and North America.
