Image of putative microbial mats showing pairs of alternating cream coloured wrinkled layers with thinner dark wrinkled layers. A red scale bar shows the image is around 1.5 cm long and 1 cm tall.
Image of putative microbial mats showing pairs of alternating cream coloured wrinkled layers with thinner dark wrinkled layers. One of the pale layers forms a thick tadpole shaped structure in the middle of the image. A red scale bar shows the image is around 1 cm long and 0.5 cm tall.
#FossilFriday Some close ups from interesting layers in putative #Paleoarchean microbialites. Dark material is silty mudstone with organic matter, lighter layers are of unknown composition atm. Exact age and locality withheld.
