AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This high-quality stromatolite fossil is a genuine piece of Earth's history and ranks among the oldest known fossils overall. Stromatolites formed through the activity of microorganisms, particularly cyanobacteria, which layered calcium deposits. They are a significant evidence for the evolution of life—from the simplest forms to more complex organisms.
The first stromatolites appeared in the Precambrian era and continued into the Cambrian. This fossil is a valuable collector's item and a unique testament to early Earth.

Special features
One of the oldest fossils in the world – dating back as far as 3.5 billion years!
Unique formation – created by microbes, algae, and calcium deposits.
Witness of evolution – A fascinating insight into the history of life's development.
100% real fossil – not a replica, but an authentic relic of prehistory.
