Abstract Since the Ediacaran period,the microbes and metazoan were interacted,but microbial induced sedimentary structures(MISS)and metazoan bioturbation structures coexisted temporarily in the Cambrian Miaoling age. In this paper,two types of microbially induced sedimentary structures,including wrinkle structures and microbial mat-crack structures,are identified in the lower part of the Second Member of the Mantou Formation in western Henan Province. The symbiotic relationship between MISS and trace fossils was classified,and three models of the symbiotic relationship between the wrinkle structures and metazoans and ecological evolution model of microbial mat and metazoan were established, including the trackways(Monomorphichnus henanensis)and the grazing trace(Jinningichnus badaowanensis)on the microbial mat, Planolites montanus under microbial mat, and the burrows in mudstone substrate. It showed that some organisms with special environmental tolerance coexisted with microbial mats in the tidal environment with relatively sufficient food sources,revealing the short period of harmonious coexistence relationship between microbial mat and metazoans not only continued the partial symbiotic characteristics during the Ediacaran,but also developed in the mixground-dominated Phanerozoic ecological environment.
