Stromatolites within the Hapcheon impact crater suggest that asteroid impacts created hydrothermal oases fostering early life and habitability, according to geochemical, isotopic, and microbial analyses from the Hapcheon crater lake in Korea.

".. In Gesteinsproben und Sedimenten aus Bohrkernen fanden die Forschenden Hinweise auf mikrobielle Aktivitäten. Demnach bildete sich in der Zeit nach dem verheerenden Einschlag wohl ein See im Krater, der günstige Bedingungen für Leben bot. .."

Строматолиты в пустыне Атакама.
Посетили в рамках экскурсии к лагуне Cejar, причем в описании экскурсии они не указаны, так что стали приятным сюрпризом. Наверное, большинству туристов это название ни о чем не говорит.
Выглядят не особо эффектно, но именно такие микробиальные маты были первыми, кто начал выделять кислород. Но здесь они молоденькие - не старше нескольких тысяч лет.

Discovery of stromatolite-like biofilms in thermal waters sheds light on ancient ecosystems

Hungarian researchers have discovered unique bacterial communities in thermal waters that may help unravel the development of stromatolites, one of Earth's oldest rock formations. These findings not only contribute to understanding Earth's geological past but also provide valuable insights into biological and geological processes occurring in extreme environments today.

As the sun sets on a young earth four billion years ago, the tide comes in. 🌅 The world looks alien with black water thick with metals and the toxic orange atmosphere looks alien. Cyanobacteria are busily growing atop one-another and producing oxygen that will one day make way for other life.

I worked on this shoot over the course of a year while living in Australia.

We Owe Our Lives to 3-Billion-Year-Old Stromatolite Fossils

The humble stromatolite fossils may not look as cool as dinosaurs, but they were the rulers of ancient Earth — and none of us would be here without them.

Watching #FrozenPlanet2 last night, saw the segment about #stromatolite life in #Antarctic lake. Amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzEVeFBXfNg
These Fossils are ALIVE! 🤯 #FrozenPlanet2

今回の旅行最後の観光。
知らないひとにとっては「なんだこれ？」の石の数々だけど、ストロマトライトは35億年前から生息する世界最古の生物（化石）で少し調べてみるととても興味深い。ストロマトライトはシャークベイ（パースから北へ900km）のほうが世界遺産として有名だが、ここセルバンテスの湖でも見ることができる。散歩道も静かで30分ぐらい。#LakeThetis #Cervantes #Stromatolite #WesternAustralia #テティス湖 #西オーストラリア #セルバンテス #ストロマトライト
