david strachan Posted December 17, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2016 Lovely Shane. Still alive today after 3,500 Million years of pumping oxygen into the atmosphere! I have several stromatolite fossils from the Flinders Ranges (SA) and the McDonnell Ranges in NT. There are some (alive) near Port Lincoln too. Nice picture, cheers...

Shane Guthrie Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted December 18, 2016 The history of stromatolites is amazing, isn't Dave? Life on Earth has a lot to thank their microbes for. Wow, fossils of them! I didn't know there were colonies in South Australia too. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted December 18, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2016 The ones at Port Lincoln are different and only recently recognised. I went over to have a look at them...not so nicely formed as those at Shark Bay. There are also Stromatolites which have grown in air, in limestone caves, called "Craybacks"...which I have seen several times, in the Jenolan Caves, NSW. I had a fly around the Shark Bay stroms, and deeply regret not landing and having a swim amongst them. (Helicopter from Exmouth to Perth along the coast). There is a huge record of stromatolites fossilised in South Australia's Flinders Ranges. They fascinate me endlessly. all best.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Guthrie Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks David and Stuart David, you're giving me reasons to visit Adelaide and Sydney. Travel budget wishes expanding beyond means...Must not spend all money on equipment and use it instead for visiting places. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
