AbstractLower Cambrian shallow-water carbonates enclosing microbial structures are documented for the first time from the upper Lastours Member of the Montagne Noire (southern France). Microbial organisms constructed self-supported boundstones resulting in the formation of exclusively microbial-accreted buildups, which exhibit three main types of non-skeletal microbialites: planar stratiform stromatolites, dome-shaped stromatolites and nonlaminated (thrombolitic) biostromes. In addition, thrombolitic boundstones display four distinct microbial microstructures: clotted andRenalcis-like forms, branching bushy forms, clusters of unbranching straight filaments and crustose forms.The upper member of the Lastours Formation records an upward transition from a shalydominant open shelf to a protected shelf environment bounded by a surface representing a major subaerial exposure. Initially, at the inception of the highstand systems tract, flat stratiform stromatolites formed on open sea subtidal shaly substrates, while stacked domal stromatolites developed in peritidal areas which record subaerial exposure. In contrast, prograding shoal barriers of the transgressive systems tract favoured the establishment of thrombolitic boundstones in protected (back-shoal) environments.

Similarities And Differences

ABSTRACTTwelve localities of Lower Carboniferous strata in Scotland (Loch Humphrey Burn, Glenarbuck, Pettycur, Oxroad Bay and the Berwickshire localities of Cove, Burnmouth, Gavinton, Edrom, Foulden) and in France (Esnost, Roannais, Montagne Noire) have been investigated with particular regard to their anatomically preserved floras. New data on the composition and preservation of the assemblages, their geological setting and stratigraphical age, using palynology in particular, are presented. Present data suggest that four successive groups of floras obtained from these localities can be recognised: from the Montagne Noire (mid to late Tournaisian), from the Berwickshire localities and Oxroad Bay (late Tournaisian to early Viséan), from Loch Humphrey Burn and possibly Glenarbuck (mid Viséan) and from Roannais, Esnost, and Pettycur (late Viséan). The similarities and differences between the floras are discussed with particular emphasis on stratigraphical as opposed to ecological controls. Comparisons are made with the New Albany Shale floras of the U.S.A., the Saalfeld and Glätzish-Falkenberg floras from the German Democratic Republic. The data suggest that the ferns and pteridosperms show the most striking changes through the Lower Carboniferous strata.

Volcanic Series

Abstract A previously unsuspected series of volcanics has been discovered on the southeastern flank of the Montagne Noire in southern France. The lower Arenig-upper Tremadoc beds (Ordovician) are overlain successively by a lower pyroclastic series, andesitic porphyrite, and an upper detrital volcanic series. The volcanics are overlain by Devonian and Caradoc (Ordovician) strata of the Cabrieres nappe. The age of the volcanics is middle Arenig to Llandeilian (Ordovician).
