The genus Vendomyces Burzin and facies-ecological specificity of the Staraya Rechka microbiota of the Late Vendian of the Anabar Uplift of Siberia and its stratigraphic analogues

An oligotaxon association of organic-walled microfossils from the Upper Vendian Staraya Rechka Formation of the Anabar Uplift of Siberia is analyzed. Taxonomic and paleobiological interpretation of microfossils, most of which are the fungiform organisms Vendomyces major Burzin. It is shown that Vendomyces was the main destructor of necromass of the primary producers of benthic cyanobacterial communities. It is proposed that, in the Kotlin Time, the distribution of oligotaxon cyanobacterial Vendomyces benthic association resulted from continentalization of paleoenvironments in the epiplatform basins.
