Lower Permian Tubiphytes/Archaeolithoporella Buildups in the Southern Alps (Austria and Italy)
Erik FlügelABSTRACT
Carbonate buildups representing “stratigraphie reefs” were formed during the Lower Permian (Sakmarian) and lower Artinskian at the margins of carbonate platforms in southern Austria and northern Italy. These buildups were formed by the interaction of encrusting algae (Tubiphytes and Archaeolithoporella), bryozoans, and syndepositional eogenetic radial-fibrous cements.
