Macroscopic photographs of the dendrolites in top part of the subsequence III of the Zhangxia Formation at the Anjiazhuang section, Shandong Province. These isolated dendritic clusters of calcimicrobes are composed of dense dark micrites similar to mesoclots defined by Aitken (1967), and can generally be subdivided into three types: a Irregular bodies of semi-connected or isolated shape; b Relatively regular bodies of large-scale fan-like or chamber-like shape; and c Small-scale (mm-sized) regular or irregular isolated bodies of chamber-like shape
