On the age of sediments from the Sredni, Rybachy Peninsulars and Kildin Island (the Kola region) in connection with the finding of strata stromatolites

Abstract

Substantiation of the age of Kildin, Volokov, Eina and Bargout formations from the Sredny and Rybachy Peninsulas and Kildin Island has been presented in the paper. The traces of microbial life as filamentous and ribbon-like forms were detected using the scanning laser microscopy in stratiform stromatolites of the Sredny Peninsula. It has been proved that the studied stratiform stromatolites cannot be referred to the formal Early Riphean species Stratifera flexurata Komar 1966
