I have had three older Doctor emeritus paleontologists...160 years experience among them... come to no consensus with a specimen I have found. This included looking at thin sections under a microscope. The internal structure often silicifies and the layers can be indistinguishable from non organic forms. Hi @Canadawest I've been tidying up the box that has been holding this stromatolite from Orkney for quite some time. And the label is starting to some what perish. I'd like to add some additional notes to the fossil but not quite sure where to start at the moment.
