Research subject . Paleogeographic conditions for the formation of structures with cone-to-cone textures by living organisms. Methods. The morphology of polished sections was studied using an Olympus BX 5 microscope equipped with an Olympus DP 12 camera. Geochemical analysis was performed using an ICP ELAN 9000 (Perkin Elmer). Carbon isotope composition was determined by mass spectrometry on a Deltaplus Advantage device. Results. The structures were formed on solid ground. They had several growt
