Controls on microbial and oolitic carbonate sedimentation and stratigraphic cyclicity within a mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic system: Upper Cambrian Wilberns Formation, Llano Uplift, Mason County, Texas, USA

Abstract The upper Cambrian Wilberns Formation in central Texas records deposition on a low‐gradient shelf within a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic tidal‐flat system that changes offshore to subtidal shelf and open‐marine oolitic skeletal shoals with large microbial mounds. Siliciclastic sediment is i...
