Arumberiamorph structure in modern microbial mats: implications for Ediacaran palaeobiology

In the course of studying modern halotolerant microbial mats in salterns near the village of Kervalet, western France, we observed fanning-out and curved series of macroscopic ridges on the surface of a newly formed biofilm. The structure resembles the late Ediacaran fossil Arumberia which is global...
