Photomicrographs of the dendrolites in the top part of the subsequence III of the Zhangxia Formation at the Anjiazhuang section, Shandong Province. The fabrics vary along with the types of calcified cyanobacteria. a The large-scale shrub-like thalli composed of typical Epiphyton; b Fan-like thalli composed of typical Epiphyton; c Chamber-shaped thalli composed of typical Epiphyton (E) and Korilophyton (K) with possible Lithocodium (L), dolomitic cement (D), and fenestral cavities (F); d The chamber-shaped thalli composed of Korilophyton (K) with possible Lithocodium (L) and growth pores represented by fenestral cavities (F). Both c and d demonstrate the possible Bacinella (B). Photomicrographs were taken under PPL
