Abstract:
Microbiolite of the Bayan Obo Group mainly occurs in Menbers H
6-H
8(Halahuogete Forma-tion)in the middle part of the group.In the middle and lower parts of Member H
6 ,we can see thetypical thrombolite horizon. Its form is almost the same as that of columnar stromatolite occurringin calcareous sandstone or sandy limestone. Member H
7 is chiefly a less developed ministroma-tolite horizon. The top 50-60 m interval in the upper part of Member H
8 is the main microbiolitehorizon ,yielding microstromatolite and thrombolite. The size of oncolite , however ,is bigger andmostly radiate in shape. Microorganism mud mounds are black mounds and variable in size occur-ring in the carbonate gorezon. Microbiolite is intimately associated with the formation ofpetroleum.
