Stromatolite Fossil – Ancient Algae Fossil from Western Australia

Hold one of the oldest records of life on Earth! This stromatolite fossil is made of fine, wavy layers built up by ancient colonies of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) — among the very first living things on our planet. Its natural banded pattern is a record of microbial mats growing layer by layer over countless years.

Last one in stock! Each stromatolite is natural, so layering and color may vary slightly from the photos.

About Stromatolites: Stromatolites are layered sedimentary structures formed when mats of cyanobacteria trapped and bound sediment in shallow ancient seas. Some of the oldest known stromatolites date back about 3.5 billion years. Through photosynthesis, these tiny organisms pumped oxygen into the early atmosphere — helping make Earth livable for everything that came after.
