Three optical techniques are described to differentiate synsedimentary biota from contaminants and artifacts in Pre-Cambrian shales. These techniques are (a) study of polished rock surface in a dark field in incident light illumination and with the heating on stage microscope in fluorescence light, (b) study of thin sections in interference contrast, and (c) examination of macerated and isolated specimens in Zernike phase-contrast and in interference contrast. Two young Pre-Cambrian shales, one from the Vindhyan Supergroup of India and the other from the Bushimay Group of Zäire have been examined by these techniques. The results demonstrate that both the shale samples contain biota of the synsedimentary deposits.

The detailed mineralogical peculiarities are reported for the first time of the glauconite of the Lower Cambrian (Tommotian stage) extracted from the terrigenous-carbonate deposits at the upper part of the Kessyusa series (the roof of the Mattaia Formation and the lower part of the Chuskuna Formation) as well as basal layers of the overlying limestone, too. Samples were taken from three sections of north-western slope of the Olenek uplift, northern Siberia; their stratigraphic position is given on the basis of modern data [Nagovitsin et al., 2015, and others]. Grains of layer silicates are represented by mica-smectite phyllosilicates with a relatively low content and with an elevated content of smectite layers (
