Abstract/NotesAbstractThe Neoproterozoic–Cambrian succession in the Zavkhan Basin of western Mongolia preserves early Cambrian bioconstructions of Nemakit-Daldynian to Botomian age. As elsewhere (Siberia, Morocco), the Nemakit-Daldynian bioconstructions in the upper Tsagaan Oloom Formation to lower Bayan Gol Formation interval were purely calcimicrobial. Spectacular calcimicrobial ‘patch reefs’ of presumed Tommotian age are present in the lower Bayan Gol Formation. In contrast, late Atdabanian–early Botomian bioconstructions are varied and well developed in the upper Salaany Gol Formation including, in addition to calcimicrobial bioherms, Gordonophyton–Razumovskia crusts, radiocyathan—archaeocyathan bioherms and thickets of the ramose archaeocyath Cambrocyathellus.These latter Zavkhan Basin buildups show some ecological and sedimentological features in common with coeval bioconstructions in South Australia, which also developed under a tectonically active regime.
