#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.

#FossilFriday Masses of filamentous organic matter extracted from a #Paleoarchean mudstone. This is probably the remains of microbes from a microbial mat. #Geology #Paleontology
