Sulfur isotopes of organic matter preserved in 3.45-billion-year-old stromatolites reveal microbial metabolism
The 3.45-billion-year-old Strelley Pool Formation of Western Australia preserves stromatolites that are considered among the oldest evidence for life on Earth. In places of exceptional preservation, these stromatolites contain laminae rich in organic carbon, interpreted as the fossil remains of anci...
