#eukaryotic cells and the proto-ancient Halls Of #Asgard and #FirstContact
*The Conversation* has an interesting read about how #Stromatolites may demonstrate a mechanism for the evolution of Eucaryotic cells like those that make up you or possibly me.[1][2]

The First Contact is actually literal.
Perhaps it's "First" and perhaps that's just __enthusiastic titling__ :)#Evolution is a thing.
So are Stromatolites::https://www.sharkbay.org/publications/fact-sheets-guides/stromatolites
"" Nerearchaeum marumarumayae. The species name – marumarumayae – is derived from the Aboriginal language of the Malgana people, meaning “ancient home”, a reference to stromatolites being of ancient origin in Earth’s history. ""

[2] I checked Tea and Chilli are Eucaryotic so ... Me too.

On rocks, from Mineral Cup’s admin, @mikamckinnon
She writes:
#Hematite is a key mineral in banded iron formations. And BIFs are my BFFsVery well done! BIFs make their appearance around minute five.

Thanks for the heads up

A very cool talk this week at GEOTOP by André Pellerin, University of Quebc at Rimouski. He spoke on the strange chemistry and biology of Lake Untersee, east Antarctica. This lake is perpetually ice-covered and the bottom covered with #stromatolites (microbial mats) similar to those found in ecosystems three billion years in Earth's past.

Hiya Mastodon,
Re- #Introduction time! I'm Ash, a stop motion animator of wildlife and paleontologist.
In the last year I moved from Australia to France and to Mastodon from my ex Twitter handle @aela_wild.
With the move I renamed my business to StudioWild. So far it's a better fit :)
Now that I'm set up, I post about natural history and share my mixed media art. I'm looking forward to getting to know my new landscape and all the weird wild animals and places in between.
If you're inclined, my animations live on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@studio_wild

@Bwheatnyc If you’re prepared to travel to Western Australia, you can still visit #Stromatolites today

@Geo_Sophist since I’m a rock collector it’s been thrilling to learn of #stromatolites ! I have 2-4 specimens in my collection. The fossils really help in dating. #Geology

The Frozen Planet II team drilled into the ice of Lake Untersee to find some of the world’s oldest living fossils. But with freezing waters, and treacherous storms ahead, this was no easy mission.

Earth's oldest #stromatolites and the search for life on #Mars https://phys.org/news/2022-11-earth-oldest-stromatolites-life-mars.html
The earliest traces of life on Earth are often highly controversial, because non-biological processes can produce relatively similar structures... New researche uses a range of advanced analytical techniques to establish the biological origins of Earth's oldest stromatolites from 3.48 billion yearsn ago.

Nice. "[A] new study of the Pilbara fossils has identified the presence of preserved organic matter in those fossils, and handed the ‘Ancient Life’ crown back to them."
