juliadellasalle on 26 Nov 12Stromatolites are the Earth's oldest fossils. Some stromatolites are from 3.5 MYA. Stromatolites are all over the world.

Kali Soud on 26 Nov 12This was really cool because the pictures really made you think.

The duct tape queen Mathilde wolf on 27 Nov 12They old things are really cool.

Ben Browner on 27 Nov 12The pictures were very interesting and stromatolites are the oldest fossils. They are about 3 million years old

macycummings on 27 Nov 12I can't believe the world may have depended on stromatolites.

cj5600 on 27 Nov 12I did not know that they are the oldest fossils on Earth. If scientists disagree about the definition, then is there more information to be found about these fossil?
-
sophiarase on 27 Nov 12I did not know that stromatolites were the oldest fossil on earth. And some scientists think that they were formed from green and blue algae but that is just one theory. This is a helpful interesting website that will help with our geology unit.

christophershay on 27 Nov 12This site taught me that the stromatolites are a rather unknown species that's formation is not too well known.

sophiarase on 27 Nov 12i thoght it was very interesting that the plates are always moving but it takes us millions of years to see progress.

angelaeast on 03 Dec 12Great find Christine. this really relates to what we have been learning in science class. Some of the facts that i had learned while reading the sections, even though I had not read all of them because, I was pressed on time, that stromatolites are considered one of the earths oldest fossils besides phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences. Stromatolites are basically considered portals to the knowledge of earths past life, into the deep time of the earths existence, the evolution of different species that are thriving in the modern times. I didn't know that scientist often disagreed on how to classify stromatolites. Some believe that it is a laminated rock that is formed by the growth of blue or green algae.
