Well preserved and varied sphaeromorphs, filamentous trichomes and synaploid organic-walled microfossils occur in fine-grained clastics in the Měnín-1 borehole. Thirty genera with 40 species have been identified, previously known from Meso-and Neoproterozoic sediments. The Proterozoic microfossils are excellently preserved, not affected by post-diagenetic thermal alteration. The Vendian age is documented by the presence of the taxa Bavlinella faveolata
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
