AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

We offer you a sculpture of nature, evidence of the creation of life on Earth... Stromatolites are biological structures associated with the activity of bacterial colonies. The discovery of such structures restarts the search for 'simple' life forms that could exist on other apparently hostile planets. While Earth was inhospitable, with high temperatures and both saline and alkaline waters (such as volcanic areas), the first traces of life on Earth are estimated to date back between 3.5 and 3.8 billion years ago in microbial form.
