Abstract The carbonate sediments of the Polish part of Tethys shelf contain Crescentiella -microbial-cement facies. The facies is associated with Middle Oxfordian-Lower Kimmeridgian microbial-grain dominated reefs, microbial-sponge dual hybride reefs, and less frequently sponge/coral-microbial-abiotic triple hybride reefs. The Crescentiella ( incertae sedis ) and microbialites form numerous cluster bioconstructions with stromatactis-like cavities in which rapid lithification was supported by ear
