Photomicrographs show the fossils of calcified cyanobacteria within leiolite in top part of the subsequence III of the Zhangxia Formation at the Anjiazhuang section, Shandong Province. a Possible Bacinella (or Bacinella-like fabric; the left part), and many small-scale colonies of Epiphyton (arrows) within dense micrites of leiolite (the right part); b Possible Bacinella (the lower part), and many small-scale colonies of Epiphyton (arrows) within dense micrites of the leiolite (the upper part) and in the transitional zone; c Some possible fossils of Renalcid (arrows); d Intergrowth of Bacinella-like fabric (the upper part) and the dense micritic fabric (the lower part); e Enlarged part of d shows some obscure fossils of calcified filamentous cyanobacteria (arrow) in the transitional boundary of the two fabrics. Photomicrographs were taken under PPL
