The real significance of stromatolites is that they are the earliest fossil evidence of life on Earth... They were the first known organisms to photosynthesise and produce oxygen. They used water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to create their food, and expel oxygen as a by-product. The example I have used in my sculpture dates from a period in time over 560 million years ago.
