Microfossils found around the world contain specimens that don’t look like modern cells. By analyzing certain bacteria in the Dead Sea that don’t contain cell walls, a new study theorizes how ...

Ultrahigh-resolution imaging of biogenic phosphorus and molybdenum in palaeoproterozoic gunflint microfossils. Scientific Reports, 2024; 14 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72191-8 ...

Microfossils shed light on the long fossil record of euglenoids A 400-million-year evolutionary history Peer-Reviewed Publication Universiteit Utrecht Faculteit Geowetenschappen ...

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Newly discovered microfossils some 3.42 billion years old are the oldest evidence yet of a particular type of methane-cycling microbe life – and they could help us understand ...

Over the centuries, wind, rain and snow carried microfossils from European lowlands, the United Kingdom and North Africa to the exposed glacier. Ice in this glacier site dates back tens of ...

Well-preserved microfossils occur in abundance through more than 1000 m of lower Mesoproterozoic siliciclastic rocks composing the Roper Group, Northern Territory, Australia. The Roper assemblage ...

Fast-forward 70 years, and new microfossils have pushed that timeline well into the Archean Eon. Most assume that the first cells were likely simpler than the 1 to 2 micrometer-wide bacteria we ...

Filamentous microfossils from the 1.9 billion-year-old Gunflint Formation studied in this research and the newly proposed sample preparation method. The rock is dissolved in acid to isolate the ...
