In this project we will investigate putative microbialite facies associated with one of the most severe extinction evens of the Phanerozoic, the Late Devonian Kellwasser and Hangenberg events, and on the to preceding Middle Devonian Basal Choteč and Kačák events. We intend to focus on internal arrangement and fabric of micritic precipitates in order to assess the role of taphonomy in the formation and preservation of recorded microstructures, and to decipher modes and patterns in grain alteration and peloid formation within the mentioned stratigraphic levels. We further aim to test whether extinctions at the end of Devonian influenced the structure of microbial biota. To document and compare the range of morphologies at ultrastructural level using SEM and to assess spatial and textural relations of carbonate precipitates is essential in our investigation but in addition to that, REE+Y analysis will be carried out as it has proved to represent promising additional fingerprint of microbial involvement in carbonate precipitation.

在这个项目中，我们将研究与显生宙最严重的灭绝事件之一、晚泥盆世 Kellwasser 和 Hangenberg 事件以及之前的中泥盆世基底 Choteč 和 Kačák 事件相关的假定微生物岩相，我们打算重点关注内部排列。和泥晶沉淀物的结构，以评估埋藏学在记录的微观结构的形成和保存中的作用，并破译颗粒蚀变的模式和模式我们进一步旨在测试泥盆纪末的灭绝是否影响微生物群的结构，以使用扫描电镜记录和比较超微结构水平的形态范围，并评估碳酸盐的空间和文本关系。沉淀物在我们的研究中至关重要，但除此之外，还将进行 REE+Y 分析，因为它已被证明代表了碳酸盐沉淀中微生物参与的有希望的附加指纹。
