Abstract There are dozens of Microbially Induced Sedimentary Structures(MISS)in the red sandstone of Lower Triassic Liujiagou Formation in Yiyang area,Henan Province,including wrinkle structures,desiccation cracks and mat chips. According to the morphology evolution of MISS,it is divided into 4 different fabrics,namely wrinkle structures fabric,petees fabric,mini desiccation cracks fabric and large desiccation cracks fabric from bottom to top. They reflect the nuance palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate:(1)wrinkle structures fabric reflects the warm moist suboxic sedimentary environment;(2)petees fabric reflects the warm moist oxygen-enriched sedimentary environment;(3)mini desiccation cracks fabric reflects the warm semi-arid suboxic sedimentary environment;(4)large desiccation cracks fabric reflects the hot semi-arid oxygen-enriched sedimentary environment. The geochemical information also indicates that the palaeoenvironment in the Early Triassic in Yiyang area changed from warm and moist suboxic to hot and semi-arid oxygen-enriched. In conclusion,the development and evolution of MISS in Yiyang area were a response to subtle changes of continental palaeoenvironment in the Early Triassic.
