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.
