Asgard Archaea May Reveal How Complex Life Began - Ancient #stromatolites from #SharkBay have yielded the first visual evidence of an #AsgardArchaeon physically interacting with a bacterium via #nanotubes - www.disabled-world.com/disability/e...
#FossilFriday at the ~2.7 billion-year-old Tumbiana Fm, #PilbaraCraton, W #Australia
🦠 Pictured are lake-deposited #stromatolites, where calm water conditions allowed larger, intricate structures to form.
Fieldtrip led by Curtin Earth & Planetary Sciences professor Dr. Kranendonk

Happy #FossilFriday! Fossil fans may know about #stromatolites, remains of bacteria that go back billions of years. But they are still alive, even in #Minnesota! This specimen is less than 10,000 yrs old (at the Science Museum of Minnesota) and will be the subject of an upcoming study. Stay tuned!
#FossilFriday from these Tumbiana Formation stromatolites (~2.7 billion years old)!
Stromatolites have a distinct layered structure formed by microbial mats and sediment🦠

#Hematite is a key mineral in banded iron formations. And BIFs are my BFFs
Very well done! BIFs make their appearance around minute five.

Thanks for the heads up […]
11/16 Life collapsed so completely that coral reefs were replaced by bacterial slime mounds.
You can see this stromatolite rock from the end of the world on a short hike from Boulder, Colorado—wedged between normal sandstones like a geological scream.
#Stromatolites
A cut and polished stromatolite fossil held up in front of the Museum building.
A close up of the stromatolite fossil showing the layers and domes formed within. The layers are no more than a mm thick.
How old are the oldest known fossils?
This fossil is called a stromatolite which are the most ancient known fossils dating back approximately 3.5 billion years. Stromatolites were among the earliest lifeforms on our planet.

New in #GPLetters by Debrie et al: 🔬Why do modern stromatolites glow? Study reveals that their pervasive luminescence comes from preserved & degraded photosynthetic pigments, offering a window into past microbial life: buff.ly/e0HHGPB

Строматолиты в пустыне Атакама.
Посетили в рамках экскурсии к лагуне Cejar, причем в описании экскурсии они не указаны, так что стали приятным сюрпризом.

Apparently, stromatolites were the first oxygen producers; changing the entire planet and forcing then dominant anerobic life forms into "hiding".
They look like fizzy rocks.
