Himalayas reiterate a tale of planetary transformation — of drifting continents, lost oceans, and the birth of life itself.

Ancient giant stromatolites used to be widespread in Earth’s Precambrian era, which encompasses the early time span of around 4.6 billion to 541 million years ago, but now they are sparsely ...

In addition to performing laboratory tomography of 3D stromatolitic macrostructure, the team was able to achieve the first sub-micron pixel and voxel sizes for imaging of Precambrian stromatolite ...

a feature shared with Precambrian stromatolites that date back three billion years. Stromatolites are buildups of limestone, similar to coral reefs, but formed by microbial mats. The activities of ...

Figure 1: Shallow subtidal stromatolites, Highborne Cay, Bahamas. Surfaces of Highborne Cay stromatolites are covered with cyanobacterial mats. Examination of these mats using a variety of ...

The Precambrian is the name given for the first ... were filled with rounded colonies of photosynthetic algae known as stromatolites. Photosynthesis began to add oxygen to the atmosphere, putting ...

Stromatolites are the most common fossils in rock formations older than 541 million years. Similar to today's Arabian Sea, in the oceans before that time, in the so-called Precambrian, there was ...
