Metazoan activity facilitates passive sediment trapping in modern supratidal microbialites: Revealed using µ‐CT‐scanning and microscopy

Microbialites are formed through two processes, the trapping and binding of sediment grains and mineral precipitation. Sediment trapping and binding result in coarse sandy textures, whereas fine micritic textures are produced by mineral precipitation. Although well‐studied modern microbialites (e.g....
