Stromatolites are the oldest known fossils, dating back more than 3 billion years. They are colonial structures formed by photosynthesizing cyannobacteria and other microbes. Stromatolites are prokaryotes(primitive organisms lacking a cellular nucleus) that thrived in warm aquatic environments and built reefs much the same way as coral does today. Cyannobacteria were likely responsible for the creation of earth's oxygen atmosphere. ... Today they are nearly extinct ... 5, record 2, English, - stromatolite

La stromatolite est une algue monocellulaire qui croissait dans les eaux peu profondes et de salinités différentes. Elles vivaient de photosynthèse et sont en grande partie responsables de la préparation et de la formation d'une atmosphère respirable qui plus tard accueillerait la vie sur les continents. Leur structure calcaire et lamellaire les rendit plutôt propices à la fossilisation et sont très faciles à identifier. 4, record 2, French, - stromatolithe

L'origine biologique des stromatolites est avérée pour les roches récentes, de moins de 350 millions d'années. Elle est le fait de micro-organismes, comme des cyanobactéries, qui précipitent le bicarbonate en carbonate de calcium. Cette origine biologique est discutée pour les stromatolites plus anciennes. 5, record 2, French, - stromatolithe
