Abstract: This paper has studied in detail the characteristics of thrombolite in the Zhangxia Formation (Third Series of Cambrian), Shandong Province. Thrombolite is bioherm and biostrome. And the clot of thrombolite is clotted dendritic and meshed. The microbes formed thrombolite are Epiphyton, Girvanella and Actinophycus. Based on the analysis of sedimentary facies and paragenesis lithofacies, the author initially determines sedimentary environment of Cambrian thrombolite in the west of Shandong Province is the low-energy subtidal zone.
