3.42-Billion-Year-Old Filamentous Microfossils Found in South Africa

“We found exceptionally well-preserved evidence of fossilized microbes that appear to have flourished along the walls of cavities created by warm water from hydrothermal systems a few meters below the seafloor,” said Professor Barbara Cavalazzi, a researcher in the Dipartimento di Scienze Biologiche, Geologiche e Ambientali at the Università di Bologna and the Department of Geology at the University of Johannesburg.
