Stromatolites are rocky structures that generally form in shallow waters from the binding of sediment by microbial biofilms. Str
omatolites are typically hypothesized to be formed from the presence of cells that bind these grains together.

A) 2.6 billion years old B) 3.6 billion years old C) 4.6 billion years old D) 400 million years old
