STROMATOLITE’S ARE THE WORLDS OLDEST FOSSILS
We have lots from Pre Cambrian age Stromatolites from Morocco that are between 600 Million and 3.5 Billion Years Old. We occasionally manage to find others (Including a rare one from Australia but they always sell out very quickly after we get them). But we have lots of Moroccan ones.
Stromatolite’s are the worlds oldest fossils. Stromatolite (literally, ‘layered rock’) are solid structures created by single-celled microbes called
cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). The cyanobacteria form colonies and trap sediment with their sticky surface coatings. The trapped sediment reacts to
calcium carbonate in the water to form limestone Stromatolite’s..
