The structures are considered to be one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, according to NASA, representing the earliest fossil evidence for life on our planet from at least 3½ billion years ago.

What was once thought to be a well-preserved fossil of an ancient reptile has been revealed to be a forgery made using black paint, carved rock and a couple of bones, according to a new study.
