Notes
- The end-Permian mass extinction was the most severe biotic crisis in Earth's history. In its direct aftermathmicrobial communities colonized some of the space left vacant after the severe decline of skeletal metazoans.The Permian-Triassic boundary microbialites were peculiarly abundant on low-latitude shallow-marine carbonateshelves of central Tethyan continents. Armenia features particularly well preserved and diverse basalTriassic sponge-microbial build-ups (BTSMBs), which were not studied in detail to date. Here, the Chanakhchisection in southern Armenia is described petrographically and by means of stable isotope analyses. TheArmenian BTSMBs formed in a distally open marine setting on a pelagic carbonate ramp in the course of twophases of microbial growth during the Induan (Lower Triassic). The BTSMBs are represented by predominantlythrombolitic but also dendrolitic and digitate stromatolite biostromes and mounds that vary in height between5 cm to 12 m. The digitate stromatolites are associated with calcium carbonate crystal fans (CCFs). Microfaciesanalyses revealed that the BTSMBs exhibit a number of different growth forms and internal fabrics. The formationof CCFs was apparently not devoid of biological influence and took place above the sediment surface. Theabundance of sponges in the BTSMBs reveals that ecologically complex metazoan-microbial reefs have beenpresent already early after the end-Permian mass extinction. However, the formation of biostromes and moundsdid not depend on sponges or other metazoans. BTSMBs that formed during the second microbial growth phaserevealed similar δ13C-values like the surrounding sediment. In contrast, the δ13Cmicrobialite and δ13Csediment valuesfrom the BTSMBs and CCFs of the first growth phase show a difference of up to +2.3‰, suggesting a significantinfluence of photoautotrophy during microbially induced carbonate precipitation.
