Abstract
The presented data showed the important role of microorganisms in the formation of nodular monazites (NM) (kularites) of the Kular Range (Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)). In the NM, microorganisms lithified by REE phosphate (monazite) were identified, represented by cyanobacteria, in the form of peculiar stromatolite-like microstructures, as well as framboidal iron sulfides in monazites. The isotopic composition of organic carbon in koularites corresponds to the biogenic one – δ13С from –22.2 ‰ to –22.3 ‰.
