This is an amazing fossil.
Not much to look at, though it has an intriguing pattern on the surface.
The slice of Stromatolite measures 1.2cm across and is boxed in a padded gem jar and labelled professionally.
A rare and mysterious part of our VERY early history.
All fossils collectors should have at least one Stromatolite in their collection as in the story of life on Earth - they are EXTREMELY important.
they are one of the very first life forms on Earth, and contributed much of the oxygen to the atmosphere, making it habitable for higher lifeforms ( including man!)
It could be that without Stromatolites there could not have been life as we know it!
This is a small but rare type of Stromatolite and is from Western Australia.
It is from an old collection and when the material is gone, there will be NO more. EVER.
When you realise that this fossil is nearly a BILLION years old it seems such a good price to allow you to own and hold it!
VERY COLLECTABLE!
