Description from the seller
This high-quality stromatolite fossil is a real piece of Earth's history and counts among the oldest known fossils of all. Stromatolites were formed by the activity of microorganisms, in particular cyanobacteria, which layered calcium carbonate deposits. They are a significant evidence for the evolution of life – from the simplest forms to more complex organisms.
The first stromatolites already formed in the Precambrian era and persisted into the Cambrian. This fossil is a valuable collectible and a unique testament to the early Earth.
Special features:
> One of the oldest fossils in the world – origins go back up to 3.5 billion years!
> Unique formation – formed by microbes, algae and calcium carbonate deposits.
> Witness of evolution – a fascinating insight into the development history of life.
> 100% authentic fossil – not a replica, but an authentic relic of the ancient era.

Era Precambrian
