“Some stromatolite fossils found in the Pilbarra region of northwestern Australia have been carbon-dated at around 3.5 billion years old!”

“These bacteria form a living mat of intertwined filaments at the surface of the stromatolite, which also harbours numerous other types of micro-organisms.”

“This species, contrary to the occurrence of shelbyocerids in the Eminence Formation, is clearly found associated with digitate stromatolite bearing dolomite.”

“Hypseloconids are almost exclusively associated with digitate or small domal stromatolites where they are frequently found in clusters.”

“At first sight, the Shark Bay stromatolites look like rocks lying in an orderly fashion in the intertidal zone.”

“At Taskent the upper layer of oolite is more resistant but sharply truncated beneath stromatolites of the overlying Gevne Formation.”
