This is a high-res image of a polished slab of fossilized #stromatolite. Weird little bacterial colonies like this were responsible for The Great Oxygenation Event 2.4 billion years ago that made life on Earth as we know it possible. #art #fossils

Bluesky needs more #stromatolite posts. Maybe a stromatolite feed. Thanks.

Photo of a light brown to tan rock made of spherical grains called ooids that are pulled up into a ripple. The ooids are about 2mm wide.

Photo of a piece of sandstone that has a surface composed of small ripples. The sandstone is around fifteen cm at its longest axis.

Photo of a tan to light brown dome shaped stromatolite with many layers that curve across the surface. The stromatolite is about 45 cm high.

Photograph of a generic white guy with a beard and dressed in black. He is stood in front of a light brown cliff of layered rock. There is a bulbous layered stromatolite fossil microbial growth next to his head. The guy is doing double thumbs up. He is very excited.

The first named #stromatolite from the Triassic of Germany. #Geology #paleontology

Can someone tell me if this looks like a stromatolite fossil?

I've Been Missin'
The Ordovician

hey #biology & #stromatolite bsky... anyone know if these might be stromatolites? seen at Bremer Bay, wondering if perhaps they might be fledgling cyanobacteria colonies. near the sandbar between the estuary and the sea.

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

The photo is of my hand holding a cabochon in the shape of a heart. It is about 1.5”x1.5” in size. The stone is a beautiful deep red with dark, metallic swirls throughout. The stone is called Mary Ellen Jasper. Found in Minnesota in the iron range, Mary Ellen Jasper is actually a fossil Stomatolite that lived about 1.88 billion years ago. These Pre-Cambrian fossil stromatolites were cyanobacteria, an ancient relation of algae. They are the believed to be the oldest living organisms on the planet. Stromatolites are responsible for the creation of our oxygen rich atmosphere that all species living and extinct needed to thrive. We literally would not exist without this amazing species.
