Modern stromatolites – living fossils. Originating over 3 billion years ago, stromatolites are the oldest known fossils (timeline). Fossilized stromatolites were laid down as colonial structures built by photosynthesizing Cyanobacteria and other microbes.
Answer:
Stromatolite structures built by: photosynthesizing microbe such as cyanobacteria
Explanation:
- Stromatolite has a structure like a rock. They are formed by photosynthesizing microbes such as cyanobacteria.
- stromatolite is one of the oldest fossils, which are formed in the shallow water and built by the precipitating activity of the bacteria which are phototropic such as cyanobacteria.
- Another method by which stromatolites are formed by its own process of precipitation.
- fossilized stromatolite gives evidence of the first ancient life form on the earth.
- Marine stromatolite is found in hypersaline, whereas nonmarine stromatolite is found in lakes, frozen lakes, and thermal springs.
